Telnet connections can be found at URL: http://www.cpcug.org/user/wfeidt/Misc/cluster.html 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. -- The Anon Keyboard I doubt, therefore I might be About a decade ago, QST ran an article about a ham in Texas that had DX contacts --daily--, even during sunspot minima. Awful news, I guess. But even a General can get on 20M. |

In article jCdfd.79937$cJ3.39267@fed1read06, says...
Thank you, however, I do not have internet access upstairs. Only a phone line. Is there a way to access via phone or is that too much to ask? I don't have aol or anything, just broadband in one spot in the house and my shack is upstairs. Pick up a wireless broadband router, then put a wireless card in your notebook. Once the wireless network is set up properly, you should be able to take your notebook just about anywhere in the house -- unless you have a house the size of Graceland or something -- and still access the Internet. -- -- //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS Fountain Valley, CA Email: |
