Hello, I am connected to the address 66.24.209.252:1448 with UI-View. I see Andy K3UK and Tommi OH7JJT on the world map. Is there a way to send messages to each other using UI-View? So far have only used UI-View for local APRS on local digipeater (RF). Looks like this software can do a lot of

In QST March 2006, pages 129 to 136 Icom is promoting their new radios. The ad starts on page 129 with a Vulture sitting on a tombstone (R.I.P.) and titled Some say this is the future of amateur radio. (Scare tactics?) The Icom IC-7000 looks like a remake of the IC-706 series, it might sell?
