[CS-FSLUG] I'm back

[R. Thompson]

Thanks Chris!

    I hadn't thought about what teaching material might be available on

wife is considering it too.  It would be nice to have them licenced,
maybe then I could buy more ham gear on our wedding anniversary :-)

However, I do know that through http://www.qrz.com there are some several really good amateur radio programs available, including a couple for Linux. Hope that helps.
