| The UK packet radio network consists of the following nodes which have an [[nov|NoV]], plus stations which choose to run under personal callsigns (although not all of these are listed here as there's no central list). There is a [[https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/etcc-packet-map.html|map of stations with an NoV here]], driven by current ETCC data, and a [[https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/packet-network-map.html|live connectivity map]] driven by data from nodes currently online (NB this contains only partial data as node software support is added and upgraded.) | The UK packet radio network consists of the following nodes which have a FAC (previously an [[nov|NoV]]), plus stations which prefer to run under personal callsigns (although not all of these are listed here as there's no central list).

| RF connectivity between packet nodes in the UK remains relatively patchy, with connectivity being internet-based or indeed totally absent, which this initiative seeks to help address. | RF connectivity between packet nodes in the UK remains relatively patchy, with connectivity being internet-based or indeed totally absent, which this initiative seeks to help address. |

| There's been a wave of people hearing of a resurgence of packet radio, and hurriedly putting up a station of some kind, applying for the NoV, announcing it somewhere like Facebook and/or [[https://groups.io/g/ukpacketradio]], and then finding not a lot is happening. | There's been a wave of people hearing of a resurgence of packet radio, and hurriedly putting up a station of some kind, applying for the NoV, announcing it somewhere like Facebook and/or [[https://groups.io/g/ukpacketradio]], and then finding not a lot is happening. |
