VE4BBS has been shutdown by the Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club and the callsign has been transferred to another BBS here in Winnipeg which
will be run by VE4UA. It is operational on 145.010. The BBS may be up and down during Sept. Oct. & Dec. due to experimentation and linking work. WSCRC

VE4BBS is now connected to the internet via JNOS for Telnet connects (ve4wws.dyndns.org) If you wish to have access and forwarding, please contact Werner VE4UA  (ve4ua at mts.net)

NEWS October 2007
Have had some problems with a power supply, so switched to a larger amperage and the bbs seems to be perking along ok at 45 watts. I picked up a Icom IC27A at Marmfest for the BBS, however once I brought it home, found out the finals are not working.....so much for going to 25 watts for now....

NEWS December/January 2007/2008
I have placed a Midland 70-340A mobile radio (converted for Packet Operation) that I picked up off Ebay and once
I put a small audio amp in the Microphone/tnc audio line, it appears to be working well now at 30 watts out.


 



GENERAL INFORMATION

The VE4BBS bbs was located in West St James, in Winnipeg. It was started up at the end of July, 1997.  Werner VE4UA had taken over as sysop from Doug VE4KV, who moved to Victoria, BC. The BBS was first known as VE4UA bbs and changed to VE4BBS on the 04 April 1999. I had to shut down VE4BBS at my qth due to personal reasons on 13 Apr 2002. Between April 2002 and July 2006, VE4BBS was operated by the Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St Marys Rd here in Winnipeg. It is again operational from the qth of VE4UA and  It can be accessed on 145.010, 1200 baud packet.
