When asked to enter a section for posting a message, I saw a section titled "Amiga Amateur Radio". Is this a future section ? I use my Amiga for amateur radio and such a section wud be welcomed. Tnx, Steve VE3SDJ

Steve, That is a current section. However, if it does go unused it will be changed to something more topical. You might consider the Amiga Amateur Radio section as a social experiment.

Steve, I suggest that you put some messages in that section. We have lots of people here interested in amateur radio, but the section is new and no one has started using it yet. Betty

Has this section been mentioned in HAMNET yet? I like it, hope we get some good posts. David D.

David, since I never have visited HAMNET, I wouldn't know if it has been mentioned there. I suspect that it will be quite popular, though, once the Amiga HAM folk learn about it. There are lots of them out there. Betty

Steve, The sysops are giving the old "use it or loose it" line – sound familiar <GRIN>? So, you do any SSTV with your Ami? I run the AVT system here, and can occasionally be heard on 14.233 (do more listening than talking). I was working on a satellite tracking program (it used to be MapTrak on the C64), have it working under AmigaBasic with the sprites representing the satellites, but when I started moving it over to C, I fell down when it came to trying to understand VSprites.. I can't remember how slow the program was on the C64, but on my 2620 equiped A2000, the C kernal can update 40 satellite positions/second!!! Anybody know of any beams that can turn at 3600 RPM??? 73, Kelly

Kelly; Long time no type. 'been in Tenn. for abt a month. Really enjoyed the ham over in that part of the country. Went to breakfast with 'em every Sat morning. Still don't have the ground rod driven or the 20 mtr ant. up but hope to RSN. Did pick up a new set of finals for the Dentron Linear so should be able to work AVT when the other stuff is done. 73, bill
