Isn't that convienient! That just happens to be exactly what you need
to
use IRLP!!!

Of course, you also need a kind Amateur who has a computer and a broadband
internet connection, and who has donated his/her own time, equipment and
knowledge to provide a service for the rest of us.

More fool he.

I have four computers in my shack/living room, one of which is connected
to
the HF radio and is currently providing an SSTV repeater on 7033KHz.

More fool you.

Yes, Jock, I guess I am a fool for thinking I could help people like you.
OK, time to turn off the radios, take down the antennas, turn off the
computers, hand in the licence and sit down and vegetate in front of the
