The point I am making is that us hams have a lot of tools in our EMCOMM arsenals.. and using this irrational hatred of Winlink...to discard one of our tools makes no sense... I am unaware of anyone suggesting Winlink being discarded. That is a red herring. The points I made, and they

I would caution anyone from trying to set up a dual boot system. I had done this a number of times and had pretty good luck but also have had one case where I managed somehow to damage the MBR (Master Boot Record) with the Linux install and had to totally redo the drive from scratch. The best

Let me voice some cynicism here also. I note you said we were unable to establish VHF/UHF/Cell Phone or Land Line voice communications between the San Diego EOC and the Imperial County EOC. I see no mention of direct HF communications on 80m or 40m using a digital mode or even voice. To have

Ill continue to use RST, it means the same exact thinig for digital, either the tones are good (9) or bad (something less than 9), and that is what makes the quality. I have other things to worry about. - Original Message - From: John Bradley To:

I use Puppy Linux and dual booting, triple booting, etc. are relatively trivial with no crashing problems. I think a more basic Linux helps as well as avoiding use of the MS version of windows except when absolutely necessary -- it is unstable in all of its iterations. We are really close to the

[digitalradio] Starting a digital 30m traffic/ragchew net

I'm thinking of starting a digital net on 30m. The purposes include jump-starting the 30m band and passing traffic. I'm surprised 30m is so empty, even when WWV is S9+ at 10 MHz. I thought that 30m spends more hours per day open than any other band. I think digital modes are a great way to
