Wondering if Beau's repeater is sufficiently central for us to connect to? Of course, if its a colo connections repeater, I'm thinking it should be.
One thing I'm beginning to study is SDRs (Software defined radios), like the Flexradio 1500. Any of you have one or know anything about them? From what I have been reading, it sounds like it could be a reasonably capable HF/VHF QRP rig that doesn't cost a lot of jink. Seems make sense, for me, since I'm such a computer geek.
