But after retiring I thought I might as well get a little vain... That's all that left after a while. he he.... So for a whopping $20 I got a vanity call after moving to a new call area. I thought in my second life after heart surgery, back surgery,.ect. I might as well have a little fun. After all isn't that what a hobby is for? I'll get 10 years out of my new call but I can't get that far on $20 worth of gas these days. eh. Now all I need is about $20K for that new $13,000 ham radio and a tower and antenna ha ha. What ever is fun is ok. Even if it means dumping a 25 year old call sign. Let me see Ham radio so varied what next. Been there done that.... DXCC... RTTY... OSCAR.,.. PACKET... oh and of coarse RAG CHEW codey slow no problem getting in the time for that award. Contest... Special events... Homebrew... and a cold brew... Oh BTW it isn't the one with the most toys... It's the one who gets to play the most with their toys. Have fun everyone and don't take it too seriously or you get an ulcer and high blood pressure.

Message-ID: Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 14:32:04 GMT Let's face it, Morse had an important need at one time in the history of radio. As a result, many amateur spent countless hours perfecting this craft. I'm glad they did. However, technology has advanced (thank God) to a point where Morse is all but obsolete. My hope is that when the FCC removes the Morse requirement, more amateurs will spend that time improving their technical abilities. The nice thing about amateur radio is that it flexible and offers many (very necessary) opportunities to its ranks. I believe the Morse requirement just distracts people from other more exciting (and more necessary) aspect of the hobby. Wayne P.

Source ports are dynamically assigned. If you are using a home-network router, you will also need to configure the router to "forward" UDP ports 5198 and 5199 to the PC on which EchoLink is running.
