My call is KB1CPS. After umpteen years of fiddling with electronics and radios I finally got it in '98. Since then I only worked 2 Meter a little. Some of the of the guys I know that work HF tend to be real bigots about the classes. Kind of "If you don't work CW, you're nuthin..." Their attitude is something of a pain. It's always been a "when I get around to it" for me. In the meantime, I'm having fun with this unlicensed microwave & computer stuff.

In the past, I've done some work in with both VHF & UHF for public safety agencies. About ICQ, I've never tried it. The satelitte work sounds interesting; I'll look up what you've done.

Cheers,
Thorn
