It would be great to have a presentation that discussed the two together; especially the ones for digital communications.<br>I upgraded to "extra" class a couple of years ago (not difficult since they dropped the code req to 5 wpm) and no, have not played with any of the linux ham apps. I am most interested in the area of digital communication since this is where computers control radios.<br>thanks for the reply<br><br>Hi Donald,<br><br>I'm pretty excited about amateur radio and Linux, actually - there's a<br>pretty good number of applications out there for Linux that
work with<br>amateur radio, including a slew of ones for digital communications,<br>satellite tracking, and logging. Eric and I were talking about researching<br>that stuff some more and presenting about it, perhaps you would like to<br>collaborate with us on that? What's your current status as a ham, have you<br>played with any of the Linux ham apps that are out there?<br><br><br>Thanks,<br>-Ian</div></div></body></html>
