The K3AF / DCA Nodes rev. 2 Jan 89
K3AF DCA 145.07 Serving the Northern Virginia LAN, KK4FL,
KA3DXX, WD4HXG-7 and K8MMO BBS. Serving
the K3JYD BBS in St. Mary's county MD. Connecting
to the K4UW-6, STRLNG2, WJ4M-3 and VIENNA
Kantronics Nodes. Serving the K4UW-1, W9BVD-1,
KF4TE-3, NF4T-3, W4NFA-1, WJ4M-1 and the K4ADL
(SwapNet) Kantronics BBSs. Linking to the PAX2
node at Patuxent and the GARR7 node at Garrison-
ville. Linking to the IAD node near Dulles.
K3AF-1 #DCA1 221.01 Primary backbone frequency linking north
to #ELK2 (at the headwaters of the Chesapeake
and 3-ported with ELK on 145.01 and #ELK70 on
438.) The Elk Neck nodes provide connectivity to
nodes to the northeast. Linking to the BALTO
and BARC nodes in the Baltimore area. Linking
south thru #RIC3 to RICLAN (145.65), RICVA
(145.01) and #RIC2 (446.05) which serve the
WA4ONG BBS in Richmond, Virginia. Connecting to
mail autoforwarding ports on the N4QQ and W3ZH
BBS. Linking to FDK at Frederick and the
Maryland 145.09 packet community.
K3AF-2 DCA2 147.57 Directional link to the #MDMN node & the GOFAR
satellite link to Minneapolis - St Paul area
and the 145.01 Minnesota node network.
(serving the WB0GDB BBS from the #MNMD node)
and connecting to the University of Maryland
147.57 TerpLan & W3EAX BBS and HF switch (14.105).
K3AF-3 DCA3 446.075 Serving the N4QQ, N2GTE, K1LNJ and WA3ZNW BBS.
Link to the FDK 145.09 node in Frederick, MD,
the WOOD4 node in Woodbridge, VA and the STP4
node near Front Royal which is dual ported with
STP on 145.01 to link to West Virginia nodes.
K3AF-4 DCA4 145.67 Wide area entry frequency for local area users
of the DCA nodes. No other nodes or BBS
operations are on this frequency.
K3AF-5 WASHDC 28.105 World-wide 300 baud 10 meter HF channel.
K3AF-6 #DCA6 438. East Coast protected backbone frequency. Links
north to #ELK70. This backbone of 13 nodes
reaches from Mt. Greylock, MA through NY, LI, NJ
and PA to the Balto-WashDC area.
K3AF-7 NATCAP 29.050 1200 baud 10 meter FM channel beamed west.
Link to AZSE node in Arizona which links to
the 145.01 network extending thru Arizona to
Southern California. Serves the NJ7P BBS off
the BISBEE node.
Other BBS and stations are active on 145.03 .05 .61 .63 and .65 and these
are not now available through these or connecting nodes. Many of the BBS
noted above are multi-ported on these other frequencies, however.
Adjacent nodes: BALTO serving the W3ZH BBS in Maryland, RICVA & RICLAN
serving the WA4ONG BBS in Richmond VA, BARC serving the TCP/IP community
near Baltimore, FDK serving KA3T BBS in Maryland and #MNMD serving the
WB0GDB BBS in Minneapolis, MN.
Node maps for east coast areas are available for downloading from the many
of the full service area packet BBS. Use the W command on these BBS for
lists of files to be downloaded.
Version 1.0 of TheNet is used at all eight interconnected nodes and
commands are : Connect, CQ, Info, Nodes, Parms, Routes and Users. The INFO
command will give a list of BBS stations served and news items of immediate
interest concerning node interconnects. The nodes use p-persistance rather
than D-WAIT for improved channel sharing.
For users linking in from distant nodes, the following nodes are
suggested as productive for calling CQ: BALTO (Baltimore), BARC
(Baltimore), FDK (Frederick, MD), RICLAN and RICVA (Richmond, VA), DCA (N.
VA and greater Washington area), WASHDC, the 10 meter 300 baud HF node and
NATCAP, the 10 meter 1200 baud FM node.
K3AF is the Amateur call of USAF MARS station AIR and the nodes are
located at Silver Hill, MD (near Suitland). The antennas are mounted at the
the top of a 330 foot tower and are fed with 7/8" hardline, except for the
NATCAP node which uses a 3 element beam, at 40 feet, aimed west. The VHF
and UHF frequencies have an operating radius well in excess of 50 miles.
