[nos-bbs] JNOS2 haddress

[Wm Lewis]

The HADDRESS refers to the BBS you call your HOME BBS.
 
My Mbox Haddress is:  KG6BAJ.#nca.ca.usa.noam.
 
For any of my users that wish to recieve packet mail at my station, their haddress is alos : KG6BAJ.#nca.ca.usa.noam.
 
The breakdown is this:

KG6BAJ = root Callsign of the BBS
NCA = Sub-Region (if any) of the main region/state/area. In this case NCA is Northern California
CA = Main Region/State/Area. In this case CA is California
USA = Country. In this case USA is United States of America.
NOAM = Continent. In this case NOAM = North America.
There is a split of those that use NA for North America, and those that use NOAM for North America.
 
Here is the Continent break-down chart:
 
# -------------------------------
#   AF   = AFRICA
#   AN   = ANTARCTICA
#   AS   = ASIA
#   AU   = AUSTRALIA / OCEANIA
#   EU   = EUROPE
#   CEAM = CENTRAL AMERICA ??  
#   NA   = NORTH AMERICA
#   NOAM = NORTH AMERICA
#   SA   = SOUTH AMERICA
#   SOAM = SOUTH AMERICA
 
So, If you are going to run your own BBS, then from your QRZ info, 
your HADDRESS might look like this: AK4GS.#wtn.tn.usa.noam
 
The ".#" part is a deliminator to specify "packet radio" versus "internet email"
 
If I were living in Tennessee, and using your BBS as my home BBS, then someone wanting to send me a packet message would address it like this:
 
" sp kg6baj at ak4gs.#wtn.tn.usa.noam "
 
Of course, you may want to use WTN for Western Tennesse, or NWTN for North Western, or whatever you're comfortable with.
 
Clear as mud now ?
