Packet Forwarding resumed

Update at 20:00 06/09/2010. Packet forwarding has been re-enabled at 20:00 today and will recommence overnight.

***** ***** *****
The network controller for packet forwarding via the National System has been turned off effective 12:00 04/09/2010 until further notice. This means there will be no national packet forwarding via the National System in the meantime.

This precaution has been taken to eliminate any possible drain on ZL3 repeaters which may be limited to operation solely on battery supply. The Trustees for the Wellington BBS and control station will monitor this situation and restore normal operation asap. Contact the Trustees, if required;
