 The project kicked off in November 2022 when Tom M0LTE kindly arranged a group buy of NinoTNC kits - a Hardware TNC (Terminal Node Controller) that can support traditional 1200 and 9600 Baud packet as well as some more experimental modes. Tom meticulously put together almost 50 kits which were sent out for members to construct and put into service. Thanks Tom! The project kicked off in November 2022 when Tom M0LTE kindly arranged a group buy of NinoTNC kits - a Hardware TNC (Terminal Node Controller) that can support traditional 1200 and 9600 Baud packet as well as some more experimental modes.

-Eoin M0NVK has put up a new 2M node (GB7IOW) in Newport on the Isle of Wight, consisting of a Tait T2100 and NinoTNC kindly supplied by Robin M0JQQ. It's able to reach an existing node in Southampton, GB7SOU, and some local amateurs have already been spotted exploring the new node.+Eoin M0NVK has put up a new 2M node (GB7IOW) in Newport on the Isle of Wight, consisting of a Tait T2010 and NinoTNC kindly supplied by Robin M0JQQ.
