The NB is really inexpensive and can be valuable even in the field, as
noisy airplanes sometimes fly overhead and the NB takes care of them.
Also, the SSB board is useful for data modes which can make for fun
portable operation. There is some nice PSK software out there...
More seriously, the HFPack folks are working with others to develop
self-spotting software, so you can post your QRV info: think of a cross
between APRS and DX spots. The goal is to this eventually without a
computer, either using ALE or some other data mode, so an SSB board will
have utility beyond voice and digimode chat.
