    SD> One thing I highly recommend is joining the Feld Hell Club.  It's free!

   Did that many years ago...along with the 30? Club & several more. That was   
   before some of the tracking websites were around to tell you where you were   
   getting out to.

    SD> dipole and it should be here today, yay!   
      
   Have looked at one of those for a long wire...but would have to use it on my   
   home-brewed end-fed or the SuperAntenna I got almost 15 years ago.   
   Eventually...may have to get an MFJ mag-loop. Got much of the stuff to build   
   it...including the resistor an old AM radio restorer gave me from one of the   
   sets he salavaged. Had a buddy in Twin Falls who's so noisy where he's at   
   that the loop is the only way to get out & get something clear sounding.

   Ahhhhhh...I have an RPi 3B+ with the ethernet HAT for power. If my old 2B+   
   hadn't been stolen by the bum who used to be my roommate...could hook that   
   up...since it was what I originally bought it for. Not sure if the Zero would   
   have enough power to decode some of the stuff like FT-8 & such.   
      
   When I bought my FT-450 about 10 years ago...looked at your Icom. Hard to   
   believe they are still building/selling them. Have also been thinking (if I   
   can find it)...getting the 80 M loop for the SuperAntenna & joining the   
   Sunday morning Net on 80 from Idaho.

   Nice!!! Am wondering how difficult it would be to compile FLDigi to run under   
   OS/2? Many of the libraries should be available. Maybe it's time to contact   
   the author to see what he says. If I could do the FT/JT modes...along with   
   Hell & such...that would be a hell of a use for OS/2. For that   
   matter...someone where the author of JT-65 & such should be smart enough to   
   do a copy for OS/2.
