I didn't see a Bible        DS> Study net, per se...but 2 possible Christian related nets.              Got it - thx for the link!               JA>Found an SDR but Windows only (I'm a Mac user) - found one for Mac, but        JA>it's a 'virtual' radio - doesn't actually use the air like echolink does.               DS> SDR: Software Defined Radio -- but if your XYL won't let you buy or        DS> use it, it's "Spousally Declined Radio" (hi hi).              LOL - the one I found for Windows appears to actually be the 'real thing'       where you can talk HF using the Internet. Is there something like that       that's NOT D-Star that you know of? For MAC I mean?               JA>Found a smart phone walkie talkie app that is kinda cool. It's also        JA>virtual, but you can use it around the world 'public' or you can        JA>make a private 20 character code and share that code with your        JA>friends and use it as a PTT walkie talkie for a group - that's        JA>kinda cool!               DS> Interesting. The battery probably runs down real quick, though.              Yeah, probably, just like Pokemon Go or something like that that runs       all the time.               JA>So is there an actual HF type SDR that I can use online without        JA>an actual, physical radio? Like echonet, I guess...               DS> Do you mean Echolink??              Yeah, like that I guess...               DS> As for the HF type SDR, I have no idea.               DS> The closest thing you could get would be CQ100, but it's $39 a year.        DS> I do the QCWA CQ100 Net on Friday mornings. CQ100 simulates operations        DS> on several HF bands, but no RF actually occurs. And, unlike real HF,        DS> Novices up through Amateur Extra, can use it.              Yeah - that link that goes to QSO net - that's the one I found on my own.       So it is still not actual HF. Hmm...                                          ... It's nice out - I think I'll leave it out!       --- MultiMail/Darwin v0.49        * Origin: Lean Angle BBS * Southaven MS * winserver.org (1:116/17)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 2 16/0 18/200 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/57 106/201       SEEN-BY: 116/17 18 120/302 331 544 123/130 131 140 1970 128/2 142/926       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 203/0 218/50 700 221/0 1 6 360 222/2 226/16 17 229/107       SEEN-BY: 229/200 312 354 426 728 1014 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/5003       SEEN-BY: 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/854 8125 301/520 317/3 320/119       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 335/364 340/400 342/13 200 393/68 396/45       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 801/161 189 2320/105 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 116/17 18 261/38 320/219 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
