10M is pretty grim now as we are on the down slide of the solar cycle -- but
some openings are still occurring as you will see when you connect to a
packet cluster via telnet.

Hello to all,

Looking to give DX a try. I have two attic dipoles for 20 and 40 meters.
I
have a ten-tec scout 555 that runs 50 watts wide open. Anyways, I am
trying
to find a "node" to use on my laptop but am unsure what I need. I think
all
I need is a 10m radio (I have an htx 10) antenna (easy enough for a dipole
in the attic) and a computer. Is that true? Also, with the computer, I
am
aware of Telnet, but how do I access a local node? I am probably talking
out of my arse, but I think it would be interesting to get it all hooked
up.
I use a computer logger but I think I can access the node through a phone
if
need be. If it sounds like I'm confused, I am. A little help will go a
long way.

Thanks so much
