[nos-bbs] JNOS Blog page

[Bob Nielsen]

When I saw that, I sent a message to K1CE, who puts together the E- 
letter informing him that it has been around for a while (JNOS in the  
early 1990s, NOS a bit earlier).  He replied that he hadn't been  
aware of it before.  There are still a lot of hams who have never  
used packet, so I guess that shouldn't be too surprising).
