Packet Practices
- Use short lines with CR line endings. Much of the Internet Email these days involves entering paragraphs without line breaks so we get in the habit and do the same on packet. Packets entered on a busy shared channel will have much more chance of working if they are short.
There's still a little packet in the Seattle Area
