I was living in Huntsville, AL in the 1980s and used to communicate with a ham in New Jersey via packet radio. I would send him a message and he would get it in only 18 hours! I had also written a packet terminal program for the Atari 800 which I passed around to the few folks who were also using Atari computers. It worked very well, but most guys using 8-bit computers were using the Commodore 64.
Excellent! Thank you for this video. I do love the command line and telnet...old school. Not gonna find the youngsters generally using this old tech. Thank you once again. I just ordered a Raspberry pi 4b to replace my macbook pro! I want to preserve it for video work. Kevin (N0AJX)
I don’t comment often enough - listening to you is so enjoyable and enriching... many thanks for the time you put into these great videos. 73 from Boston,Mass KC1ANR
Ras Pi and ham: Very interesting to me. Minimalism: Lower power consumption, solar power possibilities, portable operation. BTW, operating in Wyoming, I show up on "the cluster" every once in a long while.
They're great little SoC's. They actually can transmit RF on their own with a bit of software from github. I can get into details but, it would be too long to type it out on here. More or less I have done a lot of experimenting with it if you're interested to know more.
When I got access to the Internet in 1993, telnet was the standard. SSH didn't even exist back then. I vividly remember telneting into archie search engines hunting for files on FTP servers. WWW, a wired new thing, was in its infancy and search engines like google where yet to be invented. Hell, I should fire up my PDP-11/73 running 2.11BSD with its VT220 console terminal and telnet into a DX cluster just for the fun of it. Yes. A real PDP-11.
Where I worked in Aurora Colorado. we ran a kantronics node 145.03 simplex called Aur1. it was a 100w sintor x on a big tower top antenna and covered over a 50 mile radius. we had an earlier RTTY bulletin board running on a commodore 64 attached to our repeater.
Excellent, thank you. Tried the node in Utah initially but it said my call was invalid. I noticed that there is one in Derby, very close to me, so I'll give that a go. Thank you very much for the video. 73's M7GTX
Nice tutorial using telnet to access dxcc's hosts. :) Telnet is easy is simple and I can telnet to the host using Android devices. I use "Termux" or "Connectbot" for the task. For advanced users, we can log the sessions.. One way of it is by using GNU screen's log feature., which save the session to a log file. For the next video, I like to suggest to make introduction using hamlib's rigctl command line utility to control the IC-7300. It is very powerful tool to control or automate or even send Morse code ... Thank you, and looking forward for your future videos.. Bahathir 9W2GNU, 73.
telnet is available on windows, but about win7 it stopped being available by default. No worries it is easy to turn on. Go to control panel and programs, on the left is the option for windows features, telnet is listed there, check it and okay/ close till your back to programs. windows key-r will open run, run ‘cmd’ to open a command prompt and run the same command like Kevin. You can run putty if you want it works well. 73 de ki7cia
Enjoyed the video, as always, but I prefer to "hunt and pounce." I'm not a contester so DX clusters are interesting but not necessary. Blindly stumbling around the freq's is more fun.
You forgot to show how to exit from telnet. We can click close the terminal window, but the elegant way is to exit properly by Method 1: Type "quit and press Enter, in the current session. Method 2: Global way to exit telnet program. Ctrl + ] keys and type "exit Hope this is useful. Tank you."
Kevin, thank you for this again interesting video. I would give any Linux operating system a try if there is any usable software available, to work the winlink amateur radio network with my two excellent pactor modems, as I do not like sound card modes ;) All the best to you and yours, greetings from Hamburg/Germany, Dietmar, DL4HAO
On Window you have to install the telnet client. It is part of the windows features but has to be turned on or off. www.rootusers.com/how-to-enable-the-telnet-client-in-windows-10/
There would be no security gains to be had by removing the telnet client. Have you actually opened a terminal and typed 'telnet' to see if it's there? I can't imagine them removing it, or ftp, ssh, or any of the command line clients. That would be detrimental to the OS.
skip the history lesson, and everything you already know and fast forward to the point at : 9:00 if you expect him to explain the actually commands on the spider/dxcluster, filters i.e. then you have wasted your time here. i may be able to help with that, i was just coming here in the hopes someone gives us in depht knowledge past the point of the telnet login. Sadly that does not seem to be the case. (not kevins fault, this is not criticism, i was just hoping to find a wizard that can help me with some problems i have) cheers with beers og4u
For Windows PuTTY is a great client I have used for 18 or so years.

You're gonna have a rough time if you try that. The cpu is worse than an intel core2duo

did it work?
Didn't know anything about DX Clusters, great! Connected on my CentOS Linux machine. Thanks for the tutorial. :)

Nice, how to add filter for a specific band / mode in telnet? Thanks.
Each server you connect to will have commands to do so. They usually tell you how in the welcome text that first shows when you connect.
@@loughkb Thanks
telnet dx cluster works great in linux but how do I quit or get out of dx telnet cluster? What command to quit? And how?
You might be able to type a question mark and get the help. Or - h. Or you can always do a control-C to break out of the program.
You forgot to show how to exit from telnet.
We can click close the terminal window, but the elegant way is to exit properly by
Method 1:
Type "quit
and press Enter, in the current session.
Method 2: Global way to exit telnet program.
Ctrl + ] keys
and type "exit

Yes, you're right, I did omit that unintentionally. Thanks for posting the info, your comment should stay at the top of the stack.

Thank you, Sir. :)
More Linux please Kevin, How did you set up the rpi for use?? tnx 73
I have a few videos on the Pi, including one on using the Pi headless to run radios. Search my channel for raspberry to find them.

I found it helpful but i am bleary eyed and RUMlogNG is driving me nuts
Cool! Thanks.
Is there such a thing as BBS on HF? That actually sounds like fun...
Packet radio is the term you're looking for.

Actually Apple has removed Telnet from Mac as well.... for security, I'm sure.
of course they did lol

@@loughkb Hi Kevin I enjoyed your video and didnt know about this thanks I had it running all evening now to figure out the available filters 73's ☺
@@loughkb It's not there.... removed by Apple a couple of revisions back. SSH is still there, but no telnet.
