Not too long ago, I was on a cruise to the Caribbean with my wife. We were resting on a public bench and my wife was busy striking a deal with a local ambulant vendor, so I got my iPod Touch out, mooched on an unsecured wireless connection, read my email, blog reader, Twitter, Skyped cousin in France and then finally checked in a few repeaters back home using Echolink.
This week, Surfin' checks into a ham radio multimedia social net.

>>Editor's note: Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU, recalls net controlling during the Blizzard of '78.
ReplyDeleteI remember it well. Lived in Ashford at the time. Got stuck providing radio services for a National Guard soldier, from Georgia, driving a snow plow.
It was his first time driving in snow.
Perhaps you will remember me as the infamous net control on the .79 machine after the Windsor Locks Tornado.
