 Rejects bulls @WW over 5000 bytes from external BBSes to avoid saturating onward HF links within the network, please keep bulls a sensible length as you never know what links they may need to traverse!
-You may have seen the node appear on APRS maps, but you cannot currently contact it via APRS. At the moment, it only beacons via APRS-IS to raise visibility. In the future, proper RF APRS may become available.
+===== WhatsPac =====
+WhatsPac is a great new application for packet that has chat channels and private messages. Visit http://whatspac.m0ahn.co.uk:88/ for more information. Note that the project is in alpha so a few things are still being ironed out.
+{{:nodes:whatspac.png?400|}}
+It is possible to route to the main WhatsPac server node [[nodes:mb7npw|MB7NPW]] from GB7BSK, although the most stable route includes one AXIP link, the rest is all RF. Have a look a the **[[https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/packet-network-map.html?rfonly=1|packet map]]** to get an idea of routes and feel free to drop 2E0HKD a message by packet mail or on the OARC discord if you need help with routing.
