06/14/08 Here's a schematic of my home 'HPSDR' network. I'm fortunate to have high-speed Internet at this QTH.
Uploads average about 5MB & downloads average around 25MB! My network is 100MB based, with wireless at
54MB / 11MB. PC's are controlled with Microsoft Remote Desktop, Vista & XP SP3 version works very well. Sound
moves throughout the network with VAC and IP-Sound. Bluetooth devices are used extensively to reduce cabling!



06/12/08 10 Meters wide-open tonight! Lots of CW beacons in there...


06/11/08 K1WHS in Maine on 6M over s9 at times. QS1R great for checking band openings.
