After digging into the world of packet radio BBS's over the past few weeks, I put together a resource to follow along and build your own. The video will take you through hosting your own LinBPQ (A Linux version of BPQ32, software created by a fellow ham, John Wiseman G8BPQ) node on Ubuntu, Debian or Raspbian OS. We also configure the node with the bpq32.cfg file to report to APRS, as well as talk to either direwolf or a hardware KISS TNC. Then I show an example of using your node to connect to other nodes over HF packet. If you don't like video format, the entire process can be followed along my text blog post to get the same results: https://themodernham.com/install-linbpq-bbs-packet-node-on-debian-ubuntu-and-raspbian/
