Packet Radio BBS

The aim of these pages is to show the Packet Radio BBS of the world on maps (Google Maps) which are reachable by http through the internet.

What's it all about? Well, before the internet became a public resource, the amateur radio community created their own network infrastructure, communicating via the packet radio network. Within this worldwide network, private and public messages can be exchanged using packet radio bulletin board systems. These packet radio BBS systems exchange messages using a store and forward system, so messages can be distributed worldwide. Even if now the internet has taken over the main role, the packet radio BBS network is still active. In order to provide access to it's information resources, many sysops have set-up an interface to display current and historical public articles. Since it (mostly, but not always) contains very valueable information, their main focus has been put on creating a searchable interface to this whole bunch of information.

Please note: Without registration of your callsign at your desired BBS you login as guest with read only permissions. To get a login with write permission write a mail to the sysop with your callsign and your desired password.
