Hi everybody
If you are not aware then there is a map which shows nodes and links
from data posted back to a central API:
https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/packet-network-map.html?rfonly=1
(remove rfonly=1 from the end to see the map including internet-based
links, but it's a bit busy.)
Recently I added a live table of port data:
https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/ports.html - this is a really
useful place to come and verify that your station is posting the data
you expect to the API. You can also see grids, software versions,
port frequencies/speeds, links to FACs and to the
https://ukpacketradio.network wiki for UK stations and more when
I add it. There's a live search and sorting facility as well.
Little known is that BPQ supports posting port metadata back to the
API, which will allow tools like Jamie M7ESW's Whatspac route finder
(http://84.8.158.29:3000/) to function at their best.
To enable that, within your PORT blocks in bpq32.cfg, add information:
M0LTEMapInfo=<RF|PrivateNet|Internet|Other>,<DIAL freq_mhz|freq_mhz>,
<modulation>,<baudrate>,<bitrate>,<Access|Backbone|Mixed|Other>
A simple example:
M0LTEMapInfo=RF,144.9375,AFSK,1200,1200,Mixed
or
M0LTEMapInfo=RF,7.05275,BPSK,300,300,Mixed
Full instructions:
https://wiki.oarc.uk/packet:bpq#showing_up_on_the_maps - with thanks
to those who have written it up.
(this is defaulted on in xrouter but defaulted off in BPQ)
Another useful resource while I'm here is Jason M0MZF's write-up of
Tom 2E0JJI's live BPQ web traffic monitor:
https://wiki.oarc.uk/packet:bpqmonweb
Oh and if you don't know about Whatspac yet.. see
https://wiki.oarc.uk/packet:whatspac - it's amazing work by Kevin
M0AHN and collaborators.
Exciting times!
