Here's one from TechnoBuffalo, dated May 10.  There are others - just do a search in Google's news section.

Linux accounts for less than 5% of desktop users.  It is irrelevant and down in the noise.  I have apps from the Win95 days that still runs on Windows 8.   Too many applications for Linux are half finished, and very buggy.  I have seen more app crashes on Linux than on Windows since Windows 95/98/ME.

Dow-Key relays are intended for short/brief closure only.   If you use them in continuous closure use the coil will burn up.  I've seen lamentations from hams who tried to use them as antenna selector switches inside the shack.

Tnx Dave but to the poster of the question, you need a DTDP relay, $8 at rat shack.

Look at JTE's nethod. He uses Rat shack relays no prb.  I talk to him all the time and they work quite well.

This is on my lisy to try this weekend.

What is making that noise on 14.235.00? (+/-)
I sounds like a cross between digital-sstv & regular sstv but it seems to be a "never ending" stream.
Neither mentioned programs will decode it.

I recently heard it May 23, 2013 @ 0154Z

Tell that to NASA.  Laptops on the International Space Station are going to be fitted with Debian 6.  Windows is done on the ISS.

You need to keep water out of your coax cable, otherwise the strands of
copper will corrode and the losses will increase.  The feedpoint itself doesn't
matter, but the coax part needs to be properly sealed.

You'll find a lot of suggestions and discussion here on eHam about how best
to do that.  I uses the stretchable rubber/silicon tape and/or "Liquid Electrical
Tape" depending on the shape I need to seal.

Different DX-ers have different pileup "styles":


3)   "Brain Surgeon" - drops his call once and beats everyone else. Every time. [This is my hero - one I'm trying to emulate these days]. It takes a lot of practice
     though! Doesn't matter what his power is - but usually does have a decent antenna. So good - seems "sneaky".

What kind of idjit makes a change like this right before going out of town for the better part of a week? That's poor planning in spades!

I like wallpaper, but finding the cards to verify
would be very difficult. They are everywhere.

I have all but 4U1V, Bear Is, and of course...Monk Apollo.

From this discussion I'm kinda wishing I had bought the TH-F6 with SSB and CW receive ability instead of the VX3R. The Kenwood puts out 5 watts vs about 1.5 watts for the Yaesu. Either radio will fit in a shirt pocket.

The Kenwood's been on the market since 2001 so it's pretty old. It used to sell for almost $500 but they are under $300 nowadays. (Chinese competition?). The VX3R is about $185. The Kenwood also transmits on 222.

Of course all those amazing features carry a significant programming burden. Programming software is almost mandatory.

Any one here got this award hanging in the shack? I counted up my WAE totals today and am just about ready to submit.
