History:

9H1BBS used to be a licenced AX.25 packet BBS system and was the only operational AX .25 Packet BBS in Malta. It served both of the islands of Malta and Gozo on a 24 hour basis. It started operation on the 15th day of August 1995 and was located 124 Meters ASL and around a 1/4 Km South West of "Wied Ll-Ghasel" limits of the town of Mosta. (Locator JM75fv)

9H1BBS could be accessed on 14.113.120 Hz LSB and was an unattended packet BBS system with only minimal human intervention. 9H1BBS ceased operation on the 18th December 2003 and was replaced with an EchoLink Node 9H1BBS-R Number 5661.
