    JA> DS>   That isn't in my net list, but there may be a similar one on CQ100.   
      
    JA>Okay - googled that and wound up going down a couple of rabbit holes... :-)   
      
    DS>   Go to www.w2blc.net/cq100nets.htm for a list. 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!
