Although I’d thought about applying for a new vanity call sign before, I’d always dismissed the idea as frivolous.

But lately I’ve been embracing some new things and decided it was time for a change. I didn’t want to go completely unhinged so I set some guidelines and (mostly) stuck to them.

Managed to get a Commodore 64 AEA User port to TNC cable.
* Trying to find the manual or details
* Looking for an image of the original PackRatt Software for the Commodore 64 if possible?

Anyone in the Fediverse able to help? 😊 Thanks!
