Wow I just bought a new HP Laptop Computer also. I have been trying to get all
of my Ham Radio programs installed in my laptop
I have not been on Echolink that much since the Tipps Net did shut down for the
break. I would ocassionally listen to the Amateur Radio Newsline over the
Newsline Confrence Server or the WASH DC Server on the weekends.
I am in the process right now of trying to set up a faster computer running
the Echolink on my Repeater so I would have less data skips.
I just got back from the largest Ham Fest in Alabama and maybee the largest in
the South East. The Ham Fest was located in Huntsville, Alabama. What a crowd.
All of the booths were sold out for the two day Ham Fest. All of the major
dealers were there, MFJ, ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu, Ham Radio Outlet andy many more.
The "bone yard" had several old radios for sell. Not sure if the bad economy
made everyone dig out there old Ham Radio products and try to sell them or
what. It is always good to see so many Ham Radio Operators in one place.
My newest Ham Radio purchase is a DV Dongle and Dual Band DStar Radio. Both
allow me to get on to the DStar System. I have a good footprint of repeaters in
my area that I can get on and talk to.
Watch out for the Hurricane headed your way. Looks like you will be on the
right side center of the Hurricane. The right side is always the worst side.
You need to go ahead and prepare for the Hurricane. Looks like you may loose
power for a week or more. Some power crews and Red Cross units left Alabama
today headed to the East Coast.
