    Could be a balloon at high altitude. A friend of mine just picked up a
    kit. Still haven't learned what the purpose is, but he's quite stoked
    about it.

    I used to be all over the bulletin boards in the 80s and early 90s,
    back when they were dial-up and no Internet to connect to yet. What's
    your BBS about? Just curious....

    Almost missed this post. Oh, it was going to be focused on aviation and
    also a honebase for the listeners of my radio show.

    While it does have pilot tools in there, it's way more broad than
    that. Other than loads of games linked to a game server board, it has
    wikipedia portal, a restricted lynx instance, an online dictionary api,
    mrc chat, ddial, IRC, and on. I have all the connection info in my
    finger if you want to peruse. All are welcome.

    I was a user of bbses starting in the mid-80s using dialup. There was
    about 5-6 years I stopped using them, then back again once sysops
    modernized their boards and made them telnet/ssh accessible. It's only
    gotten better.

    It's a vibrant community, you're welcome to dive in.
