by Richard G. Beckett <rbeckett@netcom.com>

WA6OYC now has an operational Internet Gateway. Ham at sea can send and receive e-mail from WA6OYC. We have an ICOM 707 feeding a vertical on the top of the Oakland Yacht Club. Our TNC is a SCS PTC II and works great.  For best results:

NOTE: Bill De La Mater (KB6LFM) has also offered to help again this year as a back-up station on the 20 or 30 metre band to WA6OYC.  Bill did the outstanding job of forwarding EMail from Mike Jefferson in 1996 for posting on the SSS web site.

Bravo and Mahalo!  Many thanks again Bill De La Mater! wingo/jno
