Hi,<br>
I have heard that the above group may be
looking at altering the<br>
callsign fields to allow for extended callsigns<br>
<br>
Eg WB6XXX/VK9 or VK9XXX/WB6<br>
<br>
If this happens then all ax25 firmware / software will have to be
re-written<br>
What a job<br>
<br>
Has anyone else heard this ???<br>

Ray might be interested to know that the ax25 protocol group will be
making<br><br>
changes for variable length callsign fields.<br><br>
It is not just a problem for Australianxxx calls.<br><br>
There are other special needs such as portable operation VK2AAB/ZL2
etc.<br><br>
They are working this year on other changes but it is definately in
their<br><br>
todo list.<br><br>
I did not know that Roger had requested the source code be
destroyed.<br><br>
Thats a shame, from memory I think someone volunteered to him to take it
over.<br><br>
