A long time ago, I found several files that discussed connecting the #C64 to #hamradio equipment, typically via the user port. What sorts of things could you do with a C64 and a ham radio back in the day? The details are lost on me, this really was a few decades ago and the files tended to have ASCII diagrams. #retrocomputing #packetbbs #packetradio

@profoundlynerdy I used my C64 for station logs, RTTY, Amtor, and for packet radio. I can’t remember the names of the software. I had an external TNC that connected to a Kenwood TS-820. It worked well. The big problem was the TNC was hooked to the big user port I think. I think the port connected to 1 of 2 6526 chips inside. The one it connected to died and I managed to get a replacement. Then the entire C64 died. I found another and the same happened. I gave up after. 1/2
