If anyone is interested in the technical side of the packet radio protocol
ax25 and how it came to be, you can read what is published in the Computer
Networking Conference (the predecessor conference to the ARRL and TAPR
Digital Communications Conference) and the AX.25 Protocol Booklet that the
ARRL published for a while. Here is a link to the proceedings:

Terry N4TLF and AMRAD spent a lot of time cleaning the original protocol
documenting it and testing it out. They presented it to AMSAT where TAPR
saw the light. (They were working on a dynamic addressing scheme at the
time). Thanks to Harold Price of TAPR and Tom Clark of AMSAT.
The original AMRAD AX.25 team included Paul Rinaldo W4RI, Dave Borden
K8MMO(sk), Eric Scace K3NA, Tom Moulton W2VY, Gordon Beattie N2DSY and
Terry Fox now N4TLF among others. The original AX.25 protocol document
can be found in the "Second ARRl Amateur Radio Computer Networking
Conference Proceedings", March 19 1983. See link above. With the original
protocol document (AX.25 Amateur Packet-Radio Link Layer Protocol, Version
2.0, October 1984). Copyrighted by the ARRL but Authored by Terry Fox
WB4JFI at the time.
That was many years of those folks lives! Wow.
In case you didn't know the "A" in AX.25 originally stood for AMRAD!
And AO-27 satellite was NOT built with a clip-lead included - another
AMRAD project).
73 and good packet to you all de KF7PSM
