Hi, Anybody have any snowmobiles and/or snowmobile trailer(s) they can lend for Sunday? They will be needed to go up a mountain by Sultan, WA for a site survey. I think we'll need at least 2 snowmobiles. --Bart

Thanks Bart Daniel Stevens KL7WM In a message dated 1/12/2014 2:39:01 P.M.

Recently connected... Now being attacked?
by Jason Maher 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

Hi folks, I have recently connected to the PSDR from my QTH in Suquamish via the Capital Park node. My Metal 5SHPN is fed from a Puynting 31dBi Grid antenna. I have a 16.2 Mbps connection at 21.4 Kilometers! My concern is that it appears that someone is attempting to log into my router as root via SSH. There are multiple log entries every day citing "login failures". A whois on any of the IPs show up as originating from China. A few examples: 58.215.56.110 120.105.81.190 49.203.248.133 202.119.236.121 95.211.8.134 I have applied the suggested scripts to blacklist an IP after several failed attempts. I also have a hardware firewall between the router and my LAN. Are these just normal internet hacking attempts from bots, or is there something else going on? Thanks! --Jason K7JMM
