And How! I'm not a big user of Morse code, but don't regret a minute
spent learning it.

My own specialty in amateur radio is Computer based stuff. My shack
has 4 computers, one main, one to control the HF rig and run digital
modes, one to monitor APRS, and one to record the local repeater for a
interferer. Then there's one on the car for my aprs coverage
experiments.

I wonder if there's a club for computer geeks like me who don't know
when to stop? hehe Probably more like a support group. Step away
from the computer Mr Coslo, just step away.........
