Hi all,
Here's an Interesting program some of you might be interested in. It's called, CQ100. It's a "virtual" world of amateur radio. It's completely INTERNET based. This can come in handy when the "real" bands are crappy or, to talk to stations you don't normally hear. Check out the members list, there are thousands all over the world already using it. You have 90 days to evaluate. After which, it's 32 bucks a year. I just tried it for the first time last night. I'm not going to scrap my ham gear over it, but it has it's niche.
Like Echolink, you have to be a licensed ham. When you register, they send you a link to download your virtual transceiver, you are also required to email a copy of your license before you can log on and use it, usually takes 2 or 3 hours to verify.
Very realistic!!! Right down to the artificial QRN, which you can squelch out. The audio is crystal clear, very clean.
Check it out,
