 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.

 One advantage of this type of connection is the ability for SREJ, or selective reject, to be used. Normally, several packet may be sent out in order, and if one of them is not received correctly the entire batch is rejected with a REJ message. The whole set of packets then has to be retransmitted. SREJ allows only specific packets to be rejected, so only those individual packet need to be retransmitted.
-===== LoRA-APRS =====
-LoRA-APRS is also run under GB7BSK-10. Initially this is a separate system, but there are plans to create some interaction with the packet node so you can interact with one from the other (within some limits, no large transfers over LoRa which would swamp the frequency!)
