AMCOM, Ohio's Largest PCBoard, presents the latest HAML monthly update
HAML0490.ZIP
------------
National and foreign list of Ham and Short Wave Listener BBS's
( ....as of April 1, 1990... please discard all prior lists )
(C)opyright 1989, 1990 William G. Poissant
THANKS AND OVERVIEW
-------------------
Thanks to all of you that are helping to prepare this list and working to keep
it current and accurate! We welcome and appreciate your help!
Special thanks goes out to Bob Weissman (NV1D) of Westport, CT, who has called
AMCOM many times to provide addition, deletion, change and verification data.
AMCOM, one of the largest PC Boards in the world, has initiated an effort to
put together and maintain one of the most accurate and extensive listings of
telephone BBS's providing dedicated or extensive coverage to the ham and
short wave listening (SWL) communities.
The most current version of HAML.ZIP will be released on AMCOM, and other
selected BBS's at the beginning of each month. We anticipate the list will
grow rapidly, particularly over the next few months as new additions arrive or
become known! Watch for new HAML lists for additional systems to call!
WHAT IS AMCOM, AND WHY IS IT PROVIDING HAML.ZIP?
-----------------------------------------------
AMCOM is a world class, multi-node networked system with over 2 gigabytes of
high speed storage and 15 computers supporting its activities and caller base.
We have approximately 500 ham and SWL files, and over 22,000 programs on line
--- ------
at all times for our callers use and convenience. AMCOM currently supports
users of IBM, Macintosh, and Amiga computers, with separate file and message
areas for each computer type. We provide echo mail service to hundereds of
other BBS's, and provide our callers with access to over 100 conferences
(special interest group message bases), including dedicated only to to amateur
radio and short wave listening. We average 500 to 1,000 new messages a day.
We are and have been a user validated system since we started. We attempt
to minimize risk of trojan and virus programs through the use of relatively
sophisticated detection/prevention methods on an ongoing basis. We try to
stay on the leading edge of BBS technology, and to provide our callers with
quality public domain and shareware software. HAML is an attempt to provide a
useful list for our and other BBS caller's convenience, in keeping with the
above policy.
HOW EASY IS IT TO GET ON AMCOM, AND HOW EASY IS IT TO USE?
---------------------------------------------------------
You should be able to get on AMCOM relatively easily since it is PC Pursuitable
(OHCLE), and has 6 full time lines. We use the popular PCBoard software on a
dedicated 386 networked system. Most think that the software used on AMCOM
is easy to use.
WHO USES AMCOM? WHY IS IT THOUGHT A GOOD DISTRIBUTION POINT FOR HAML.ZIP?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a world class system, AMCOM attracts a steady stream of shareware
distributers, sysops, and callers from around around the world, seeking
software and updated lists for their redistribution, BBS's and personal use.
Since we have a number of sysops that support Ham and SWL areas, and since we
are already one of the major sources for their software... it also made sense
for us to initiate and continue the effort to provide HAML.
Since we currently offer system support for 6 languages (more are planned for
the near future), we think the chances that the effort will provide some
benefit to the ham and bbs communities is relatively good. We try to cater
to the special needs of our foreign and out-of-state callers... offering
38400 to 1200 baud and V.32 capability. We have a number of foreign and out
of state callers on role, which should help in distribution of the list.
We also offer an Amateur Radio/SWL Conference for message exchange and data.
By the way, AMCOM is always looking for new software for our callers... if
you have something we do not have, we would appreciate you're uploading it!
DO I HAVE TO PAY TO GET ON AMCOM TO DOWNLOAD A MORE CURRENT HAML.ZIP LIST,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OR TO PROVIDE UPDATES FOR MY OR OTHER SYSTEMS?
---------------------------------------------
No! ....HAML is available as a free download on all 6 lines, to all callers.
---------------------------------
You may of course become a subscriber, or register for access on AMCOM's free
access node if you choose to do so... but in any event you are welcome to use
AMCOM to download HAML.ZIP from Dir 1, advertise your BBS, browse around, and
then go on your way... You are under no obligation and we hope HAML has been
and will continue to be of help to you.
We do provide subscription access to the areas outside dir 1 on the 6 lines
to subscription callers, for those wishing to use the other capabilities that
AMCOM provides.
.... AMCOM also provides one free "full priviledge" line for all normal BBS
functions to all well mannered callers.
We hope to see you often on AMCOM. We also recommend that you call the many
excellent BBS's contained in HAML!
Please Note Prior to calling AMCOM.
-----------------------------------
AMCOM's individual line opening baud rates appear at the top of the list
for your convenience.
Since all of AMCOM's modems do not open at 38400/19200/9600 baud, please
refer to the top of the list for AMCOM's phone numbers and their opening
baud rates, to select the AMCOM phone line with the opening baud rate and
modem characteristics that matches your modem's capabilities...
HE CALLS IN FROM "GITMO"
-----------------------
We are pleased as punch to have Tim Miller KG4TM, Guantanimo Bay, Cuba... as
the host of AMCOM's Amateur Radio/SWL Conference. Tim is one of those "hard
to find critters" that is knowledgable in almost all areas of radio
communications, and has helped many to obtain their amateur licenses. A great
guy... ....well qualified, and willing to give folks a helping hand if needed.
AMCOM also provides access to the MetroLink Amateur Radio Conference Echo...
an active conference that you may want to check out as well.
AND NOW TO GET THE REQUIRED READING OUT OF THE WAY
--------------------------------------------------
While I reserve all copyright priviliges, this listing may be distributed
freely to bulletin boards as long as there is no fee charged for distribution
of the file, and as long as HAML is not altered in any way. BBS operators may
include HAML in file libraries on BBS's that charge access fees for use of
their BBS. Other than for the foregoing, HAML may not be reproduced in whole
or in part, for any purposes other than as a file for download by the callers
of a BBS. It's use as a BBS Bulletin, "news item," reference source, or for
any other purposes is prohibited without the author's written permission, and
is the exclusive property of William G. Poissant.
AMCOM, it's staff, and Bill Poissant shall not be held liable or responsible in
any fashion for the use or misuse of the data contained in this listing. No
warranty, either expressed or implied, is provided including fitness of
purpose. You assume full responsibility for the use of this material. While
we do try to provide an accurate list, the possibility of error is present.
If you find that it contains erroneous data, please call it to our attention.
THE CURRENT HAML LIST
---------------------
The following is a list of known telephone BBS's that support Amateur Radio and
SWL. Some of the following BBS's are strictly for hams, while others support
separate Conferences or special interest groups (SIG's) for hams and SWL's,
or have extensive radio-related files and/or message bases.
If in calling one of these systems, you find nothing to indicate its
relationship to Ham Radio/SWL, or find that it has been disconnected, please
let us know so we can remove it. While AMCOM can not guarantee the accuracy
of HAML, we do strive to keep it up-to-date. Please send any additions,
changes, deletions, etc. to:
