		dialing area.

		One amateur packet radio port on 145.01 Mhz.  The link
		address is WB6RQN.  This port has direct coverage of most
		of the Washington, DC, metropolitan area as well as much of
		Northern Virginia, Western Maryland, and parts of West
		Virginia.

		One dial in port.  Total disk space available to
		UNIX is 35Mb with some expansion available in the future.
		yojna1 also supports an amateur radio packet radio inter-
		face on one of its tty ports.  

Policy:		Since UNIX is a sidelight of the operations at this site,
		the policy toward users is very open.  New users and new
		sites are invited to contact this site.  The dial out
		capability of yojna1 broken so polling is encouraged.
		People desiring access to this system are invited to dial in,
		login as guest, and mail or write wb6rqn.

		Amateur packet radio is strongly supported.  Any and all
		"hams" with packet radio capability are invited to connect
		and will, at their request, be granted a UNIX login ID.

		yojna1 is currently a usenet site for a limited number of
		newsgroups.  The limitation is strictly one of available
		disk space.  We will be happy to forward mail or netnews if
		that service will be of use to anyone.
