WELCOME TO SUNPAC

Introduction from the Chairman

The winter and spring seasons passed without needing emergency site visits for equipment failures, a testament to the amount of work we put in during the summer of 2006. Eric had to make a couple of visits to GB7SW following power failures but otherwise the network has been running very well. A failure of the 23cm GB7SW<>GB7HP link predated the winter and we were not in a position to carry out remedial work before the weather turned cold and wet. This is a matter that we are about to address. So overall we have enjoyed an extended period with systems and links functioning without interruption. More information about the network, including our new link to GB7LIT-11 at Littlehampton, is on the Network Update page.

This is the time for renewing your SUNPAC membership (or for joining for the first time). Without subscriptions we cannot pay our site fees and there would not be a network anymore. Network usage has remained stable for the past year and packet users have enjoyed reliable access to the area systems including the GB7SOU BBS, GB7WKL / GB7CGL DX Clusters and the links to the worldwide chat server at GB7CIP. So, don't wait for your reminder letter in the post - please send your cheque, payable to SUNPAC for £7.50, to me Richard G0WKL. I am QTHR. If you use the packet network, please support it. I look forward to hearing from you.

We will do our best to keep you informed via this site, and in our packet bulletins, of any developments or outages with the network.

If there is anything we can do to help you by making any improvement in the network, please let us know.

73 de Richard G0WKL, Chairman G0WKL@GB7PFD
