just one word  LINUX

And you'll save yourself lots of money, most of the Ham software for
linux is FREE , gratis, so you dont need to spend money om microyuk
software, and can use what you save to buy or build more radio gear.

Furthermore, I havn't found a single software author for linux Ham
software who wont give you help , should you need it. There is a goodly
selection on my site.

You already know that as your using this list, but just in case you
didn't.
If you want to look at digital modes on HF try gmsfk or fldigi, fldigi
has a great morse decode facility, so if your morse is as bad as mine,
you'll find it very useful

and I just noticed the error in the signature block :(
