Rock on, Enzo. Good job man.

Hey, will you still go by Vinnie after you're listed on qrzed?

Why, should I change it?

Vinnie S.

Well, upstanding hams like wa3moj only post with their
real name, not a made up one.

I will send you my call sign when I get it.

Vinnie S.

Use it in your posts on the news group. I would like to see somebody else
have a higher look up count on QRZ than me for a change.


I never looked you up. They have a count there?

Sure do. I'm over 18,000 look ups so far, 99 percent of it due to my
postings on this news group. Just proves a whole lot more people just
sandbag on the side reading and never post anything.

Wow !!!!!

I am hesitant ti post it here. I will not be on the air for a couple months. If
I post it, some asshole forger or criminal that resides on this NG might use it
on the air. And I might not even know about it. If you know what I mean.

I looked you up. I am very impressed you got 2 degrees (So far apart).

Great job !

One reason I got back into radios, was because it had been so long that I used
what I was schooled for. 20 years was enough.

Thanks. I got the second degree just for fun, I like computers as a hobby
too, so what the heck, and work paid for the classes. I'm fixin (getting
quotes for hardware) to put together an AMD FX-55 system right now to dual
boot Win XP Pro and Linux (Fedora Core 3).

http://fedora.redhat.com/

I'm running it on an old PII 333 MHz system with 196MB, CD-ROM, NIC card
etc., got the whole thing including a 15" color monitor for $80 at a local
Hamfest. The system is connected to my LAN right now so I can experiment
with it. I can use Gnome's remote desktop (XDMCP) to run the graphical
desktop remotely. I can sit and watch the news on the TV while playing with
the system in the other room, all wirelessly on a laptop.

The reason why the long period was due to the fact I was only taking one
class at a time. You wouldn't believe how much time those programming
classes can suck up doing the programming projects they want. The math
classes were just as bad. There is no way to just "skate" through the work.
The only way to learn the material is to do the work, and some of the prof's
worked the students like dogs too.

Hey, it's NEVER too late.

it's a reult of posting in rec.radio.cb.

Fugly felon n8wwm has 4000..of course he's ashamed of his call (rightly so)
so he doen't include it in his posts.

I just find it hard to understand how a guy in an apartment with a
cell phone antenna ran thru his rented air conditioner, could get
looked up 18 thousand times.

Strange days indeed.
