Hi Bob, Great, I hope you'll bear in mind that I have just put that server distro together and tested it here on two of my PC's. You may run into things. Also, I have not written anything about what you need to configure. You will need to set callsign etc in pskmailrc.pl and I should probably put a big sign on the desktop about that. Regarding the beacon I can only imitate the famous Homer Simpson: Doh! I have had the beacon on 20 meters, I have now moved it to 18 MHz. (sri).
