THANKS AND OVERVIEW
-------------------

Thanks to all of you that are helping to prepare this list and working to keep
it current and acurate!  We really do welcome and appreciate your help!

AMCOM, one of the largest PC Boards in the world, has initiated an effort to
put together and maintain one of the most accurate and extensive listings of
telephone BBS's providing dedicated or extensive coverage to the ham and
short wave listening (SWL) communities. 

The most current version of HAMLnnnn.ZIP will be released first here on AMCOM, 
and then to other selected BBS's at the beginning of each month.  We anticipate 
that the list will grow rapidly, particularly over the next few months as new
additions arrive!  Keep an eye out for the new HAML lists for more excellent
systems to call!

WHAT IS AMCOM, AND WHY IS AMCOM PROVIDING HAMLnnn.ZIP?
-----------------------------------------------------

AMCOM is a world class, multi-node networked system with over 1.5 gigabytes of
high speed storage and 15 computers supporting its activities and caller base. 
We have approximately 500 ham and SWL files, and about 20,000 programs on line
                      ---                              ------
at all times for our callers use and convenience.  

We are, and have been a user validated system since our inception.  We attempt
to minimize risk of trojan and virus programs through the use of relatively
sophisticated detection/prevention methods on an ongoing basis.  We try to
stay on the leading edge of BBS technology, and to provide our callers with
the quality public domain and shareware software.  HAMLnnn.ZIP is an attempt
to provide a useful list for our and other bbs caller's convenience, in keeping
with the above policy.

HOW EASY IS IT TO GET ON AMCOM, AND HOW EASY IS IT TO USE?
---------------------------------------------------------

You should be able to get on AMCOM relatively easily since it is PC Pursuitable
(OHCLE), and has 6 full time lines.  We use the popular PCBoard software on a
dedicated 386 networked system.  Most think that the software used on AMCOM
is easy to use.

WHO USES AMCOM?  WHY IS IT THOUGHT A GOOD DISTRUBUTION POINT FOR HAMLnnnn.ZIP?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a world class system, AMCOM attracts a steady stream of sysops and other
callers from outide Ohio and around the world, seeking software and updated
lists for their BBS's and personal use.  Since we have a number of sysops
that support Ham and SWL areas, and since we are already one of the major
sources for their software... it made sense for us to initiate and continue
the effort to provide HAMLnnn.ZIP.

Since we currently offer system support for 6 languages (more are planned for
the near future), we think the chances that the effort will provide some 
benefit to the ham and bbs community is relatively good.  We do try to cater
to the special needs of our foreign and out-of-state callers... offering
38400 to 1200 baud and V.32 capability.  We do have a number of foreign and
out of state callers on role, which should help in distribution of the list.

We also offer an Amateur Radio/SWL Conference for message exchange and data.
By the way, AMCOM is always looking for new software for our callers...  if
you have something we do not have, we would appreciate you're uploading it!  

DO I HAVE TO PAY TO GET ON AMCOM TO PROVIDE UPDATES FOR MY OR OTHER SYTEMS, 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OR TO DOWNLOAD A MORE CURRENT HAMLnnnn,ZIP FILE?
-----------------------------------------------

No!  .... AMCOM provides one free line for all normal bbs functions to all
well mannered callers.  The number for the free access node is: 

                                216-526-9490...
                             
HAMLnnnn.ZIP will also be available as a free download on all 6 lines, to all 
                                         -----------------------------
callers, even if you do don't want to become a subscriber, or register for
access on AMCOM's free access node... just come and download HAMLnnn.ZIP from
Dir 1 and you're on your way... no obligation and we hope HAML will be of help
to you.  

We also provide subscription access to the areas outside dir 1 on the 6 lines 
to subscription callers, for those wishing to use the other capabilities that
AMCOM provides.

We hope to see you often on AMCOM.  We also recommend that you call the many
excellent BBS's contained in HAMLnnnn.ZIP!    

DO I NEED TO REGISTER ON AMCOM TO ADD, CHANGE OR DELERTE ENTRIES FROM HAMLnnn? 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, while HAMLnnnn is a "free" download from AMCOM, additions and changes to
it will require registration on at least the free node to provide control over
changes to the list.  

HE CALLS IN FROM "GITMO"
-----------------------
We are pleased as punch to have Tim Miller KG4TM, Guantanimo Bay, Cuba... as 
the host of AMCOM's Amateur Radio/SWL Conference.  Tim is one of those "hard
to find critters" that is knowledgable in almost all areas of radio
communications, and has helped many to obtain their amateur licenses.  A great
guy...  ....well qualified, and willing to give folks a helping hand if needed.

AND NOW TO GET THE REQUIRED READING OUT OF THE WAY
--------------------------------------------------  

While I reserve all copyright priviliges, this listing may be distributed
freely to bulletin boards as long as there is no fee charged for distribution
of the file, and as long as HAML is not altered in any way.  BBS operators may
include HAML in file libraries on BBS's that charge access fees for use of
their BBS.  Other than for the foregoing, HAML may not be reproduced in whole
or in part, for any purposes other than as a file for download by the callers
of a BBS.  It's use as a BBS Bulletin, "news item," reference source, or for
any other purposes is prohibited without the author's written permission, and
is the exclusive property of William G. Poissant.

AMCOM, it's staff, and Bill Poissant shall not be held liable or responsible in
any fashion for the use or misuse of the data contained in this listing.  No
warranty, either expressed or implied, is provided including fitness of
purpose.  You assume full responsibility for the use of this material.  While
we do try to provide an accurate list, the possibility of error is present. 
If you find that it contains erroneous data, please call it to our attention. 

THE CURRENT HAML LIST
---------------------

The following is a list of known telephone BBS's that support Amateur Radio and
SWL.  Some of the following BBS's are strictly for hams, while others support
separate Conferences or special interest groups (SIG's) for hams and SWL's,
or have extensive radio-related files and/or message bases.

If in calling one of these systems, you find nothing to indicate its
relationship to Ham Radio/SWL, or find that it has been disconnected, please
let us know so we can remove it.   While AMCOM can not guarantee the accuracy
of HAML, we do strive to keep it up-to-date.  Please send any additions,
changes, deletions, etc. to:
