I was able to communicate with hams all over the world by using a "palm top computer" (PDA)and a TNC. <br /><br />(I worked the MIR space station with it from a 360 degree hilltop). <br /><br />But these days, other than the "weekly club nets" and emergency "Skywarn" nets...there's not much there. <br /><br />I hope listners that use this new AM-FM radio (and prospective new hams) are lucky enough to tune in at these times. <br /><br />John N8ZYAJspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-9540063155077195512009-06-22T23:59:00.240-07:002009-06-22T23:59:00.240-07:00If I lived somewhere there was any 2m FM activity ...If I lived somewhere there was any 2m FM activity I'd love one of those.
