I run Kubuntu on my main computer as a dual boot.

try xastir, it is in the repository. I havent figured out how to get other maps yet but it will work to get you on.

I have been using Kubuntu since 7.04. I'm sure that the following statement is true for ubuntu... NEVER UPGRADE!!! Always do a fresh install.

Now that doesn't mean you loose everything set up your drives as suggested above and when it's time to upgrade, follow this link, http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?26184-HowTo-Backup-amp-Restore-your-system-my-way-D and instead of wiping the whole drive just the root drive. you keep your home and the list the link shows how to make reinstalls all your software. Very easy and pleasant.

Hi,

   I entered the SSB DX contest this year and at the time i could only enter the 10m SO class. I tried and did ok for the time i had(I work weekends) sent my log and waited. well i saw my score and thought its my first try ok i guess. a few days later i was at my dad's house and he gave me an envlope. the ARRL has my address as my dads house. I was a member before i got maried. 15 years ago. but i opened it and found a nice piece of wallpaper that said i was first place SO 10M ohio section. so dont think when you send in a low score you are just greasing the wheels of the "big guns" you never know you might be the next one.

Hi,

first off, you need to have the mmtty engine in the same directoy. next it takes a minute to load up mmtty. but it works good. I hope to hear you on the air.

Ted

Saturday morning? most of the ones here are on Sunday morning. Id love it if they are all on Saturday.

Ted

Good.

I thought field day is to practice for an emergancy. here some idots cant make room for a real one.

  Pay attention to whats going People. i'm not picking on consederate ham just those who don't listen on the air.

Saturday and Sunday I could not get eHam to come up. I was worried the site was SK did any one else have problems getting in?

Ted

In CW mode if there is no key pluged in then the switch is closed and the transmiter kicks on.

Ted

Hi, it doesn't budge when i turn up the xmtr gain the switch is in the x position. i turn the mode switch to cw to load the antena. thats what the manual said. could the ampmeter be bad?

Ted

Hi, I tried to tune up for the first time a TR-3 I have had for a
long time. I was a novice when i bought it. all the tubes light up. i
followed the instructions from the manual but there was no increse in
plate amperage. Are the finals shot?

Hello,
