Hi Dirk,

           Well that all sounds very grand but for the likes of us old
pensioners
on Ltd income down here , (very Ltd) , 24/7 internet operation is decidedly
out in fact 1/7 int. operation is too expensive. My total connect time is 1
minute per day for email on average.Sometimes as extravagant as 2 mins/day.

              If things were otherwise of course , I would love to have 24/7
operation but not instead of amateur radio , as an adjunct to it. I seem to
spend more time fighting computers / software than operation on HF CW which
is my prime interest.
