Thanks.

I heard the acronym alot at my HAM club meeting last night but didn't know what it was and I forgot to ask until now.

What is HRO?

True....the problem is that I currently live in an downstairs apartment of a two story building and I don't plan on being here long enough to sneak wires on the roof.

I can't wait to start collecting QSL cards. Speaking of, I need to start designing mine.

Congrats Kevin, keep at it and get that General ticket! Trust me, I am. As soon as I can order the ARRL guide for the general exam I will be good to go.

I don't mean disconnect it, I mean press the Function Key combo to turn off power to the wireless device or remove the card if it is separate. I have a RealTek wireless card in my Gateway laptop and I...
