    SD> Hello Jimmy,   
      
    JA> I have dabbled in echolink... I agree, it's not a 'real' radio, but

    SD> Even then Echolink isn't always active.   
      
   Very true - which begs the quesiton - can you 'scan' with it? Hmm...   
      
   When I'm mobile, I'll scan the repeaters I have stored. I did a frequency   
   scan once and was picking up air traffic too. That was different.   
      
    SD>     I am about to order something   
    SD> I have been wanting for a very long time: a new EFHW HF antenna from   
    SD> myantennas.com (the guy is a ham who used to design antennas for   
    SD> Cushcraft).  10-80 meters, no tuner required (though I will still use   
    SD> one).  I haven't been on the air in months.  Missing it.  Rearranging   
    SD> my tiny 8x10' shack to allow me to not only use my Yaesu FT-450D but to   
    SD> finally hook up my Kenwood TS-430S also.  That Kenwood has some lovely   
    SD> audio.   
      
   Nice!   
      
    SD> Side note: I just renewed my SKYWARN spotter certification.  Evidently   
    SD> SKYWARN in my area is in shambles...which doesn't surprise me at all.   
      
   My wife and I are still part of the system, but we don't get on the   
   'boards' - just report stuff while mobile...   
      
    JA>  + Origin: Lean Angle BBS * Southaven MS * winserver.org (1:116/17)   
      
    SD> Been calling Robert's board, eh? :D   
      
   Yep! I'm about 80 miles north of Memphis, so that's my 'home BBS.'   
      
      
      
      
   ... Blessed be the pessimist for he hath bought insurance.
