About the Programmer

Hello,

My name is Peter Tryon. A became an Amature Radio operator in 1974 and my Advanced in 1978. My first call was VE7DED, I moved to Alberta in 1986 and change my call to VE6DED. After my career as a Paramedic we moved back to B.C. and came back to Qualicum Beach. My new call is VA7PWT. I have always loved the digital aspect of Ham Radio. I have done most digital modes but always came back to Packet Radio. My interest is sending Email style of Packet Mail easier and faster than the old ways from the 70’s. I love writing programs and decided to write my Packet Mail Program.

​

​The Mid Island Amateur Radio Association has a special interest group that Peter (VA7PWT) leads called ‘The Packeteers’, which meets online weekly to trouble shoot technical issues and to exercise our operating skills by sending messages. ​Interested in 'The Packeteers'? Consider contacting Peter (VA7PWT) at ptryon2@gmail.com and he will give you the meeting link.
