SO I been messing around with fldigi on linux most of the day/night. kinda interesting. I am one thats not big on the whole hooking pc to rig guys but at night when everyone is asleep and I am awake (hey im nocturnal) i tend to get yelled at if I listen to my normal cw or ssb stuff so I figured what the hell ill play with this digital stuff.
Now to give some info on what I am using.. FT-847 hooked to a broken homemade 220Mhz ground plane (ain't been able to get my HF stuff up due to weather) but even as horrid of a missmatched antenna it does pull in signals. matter of fact in the last 20 mins I have copied about 7 dif countries on 20m
So now I am going to have to brew up a interface and a cat control. maybe get my indoor 20m dipole back up in here again as well.
or my other option is sound proofing this room......
