HF Email / Messaging options?

[Charlie - K0CKH]

This isn't Elecraft-specific but I do use my KX3 for this.

I am looking into EMCOMM email and message store/forward systems.

I am already using Winlink on HF with both the Winmor protocol and an SCS
PTC Pactor modem and those are working FB.

I am considering putting up an HF BBS-like system that multiple users could
use to store (and possibly forward) messages between multiple users.

I used to do packet on VHF/UHF 20 or so years ago but have never done HF
packet, Amtor, etc. and wondered what options there are today?

My goal is to build 3 or 4 HF turnkey systems using low-cost HF
transceivers, modems or ?, simple portable antennas, etc.  The
lighter/smaller/more agile the better.

Any suggestions for a simple message system using efficient protocols on HF?

And, based on the success of this research, I might look into providing
systems to deploy in the bush for remote missionaries, etc.  Any
suggestions or direction to existing systems (keeping low budgets in mind)
would be appreciated.

Thx + 73,
Charlie

Also PSKmail (www.pskmail.org) could work for your  purpose.
Source code is available for adapting and tuning the software for your
needs if your into Linux programming.

For light weight portable HF messaging its great. I'ts also an mobile app
with the most important functions.

It does pop3 email, p2p messaging, aprs on hf, twitter, web page
fetching,+++

Backbone is on 30m and i use it with my android phone and kx3. An full size
30m GP antenna on an 10m mast.
