Hi Andy, I too am a ham radio operator, WD8POF. I was licensed back when one had to go to a federal examination station like Norfolk, VA. I suppose it would be enlightening but you can't get off the plane in mid flight to see Boot Hill. TE HE I have applied for the Trekker through the Veterans Administration. I want it for ground use where getting lost is a real possibility.

Hi leon, Well, as a ham I have read about moon bounce, but I have never done it, and do not know anyone who has done it, but I would think that people do it just to see if they can. As for using GPS in flight, well, I guess there is no real need to do it, but, again, it would be neat to know exactly where you are, especially on a long flight. I get bored on plane trips, and can't afford First Class, so sleeping is out of the question. (SMILE)! Andy -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
