By the way... here are two items that may be of interest...
o BEACONet's CU2QSO system (the one under discussion) was "killed"
before it
officially existed. It is in final pilot phase right now, with an
article
being written. It had hoped that the article would be submitted
by early
April. Dan killed it before we could run the last tests of the
system, so
we're a little behind.
- Unfortunately...because the ARRL has now given it's OK, I'm in
an
interesting predicament: now everyone wants to know what it's
all about.
Please be patient, I'm working quickly to get information put
together.
o There are still a few tweaks being done to the ultimate
configuration of
the software. The software is mature...it's how we set it up to
work that
we're tweaking.
o There is a FAQ on the CU2QSO system at http://www.BEACONet.org |
CU2QSO.
That hyperlink will take you to an area that better describes the
system
and even has some screen shots. Check it out, please. It will
answer a
ton of questions.
