<div dir="ltr">Hi Donald,<br><br>I'm pretty excited about amateur radio and Linux, actually - there's a pretty good number of applications out there for Linux that work with amateur radio, including a slew of ones for digital communications, satellite tracking, and logging. Eric and I were talking about researching that stuff some more and presenting about it, perhaps you would like to collaborate with us on that? What's your current status as a ham, have you played with any of the Linux ham apps that are out there?<br>

It seems to me.... I am a newbie with Linux and GSLUG, but have noticed<br>
some interesting things. I first belonged to the world of amateur radio.<br>
Many years later, I joined the computing world after I "met the MAC".<br>
What bothers me is that the two worlds seem to be isolated. Now that we<br>
have the internet, many people like me are asking "what can we do with<br>
the internet in amateur radio because the internet is such a good tool.<br>
<br>
Also, I read about a seminar given in Chicago that described the radio<br>
signals being digitized right at the antenna base. It seems to be this<br>
would bring BIG changes in the development of radio. computers and<br>
amateur radio are slowly blending together. Does anyone have any<br>
thoughts on linux and amateur radio?<br>
