Do any of you guys know a bloke called "Sam" from Sydney Australia ... he lives up the road a bit, or used to. Not a bad bloke ... immersed ... I can't remember his call-sign as it would be around 20 years or so ago ...

There are Ham's out there like you see.
In Germany there is also a special HAM-Version of Knoppix availible (AFU-Knoppix with many extra tools for PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, FAX, APRS, Packet Radio, logging, antenna calculation and so on). But i think it's time for a new one since it is 3.7-based. Don't know wheather there is something similar availible from some english guys.

p.s.: I don't know the Sam from Sydney, sorry.

I passed & got a novice license back in 1993 or 1994. At that time, my interests in computing dominated my interests in Ham so I never went on to pursue a tech or tech+ license. I never did get a hang of CW. Under the watchful eye of a general (i think higher)licensed operator, Me & some buddies competed on [url=http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/fd/Field Day[/url] 1994. I don't remeber the freq or wavelength we were transmitting on, but we CQ'd & QSO'd from Long Island NY to Ontario, CAN to Maryland all on a car battery. Certainly not a super-duper ultimate record but it impressed me.

Mmmmm good times.
