[Ham-Linux] Fresh Feisty Installation... looking for software suggestions.

[kd4e]

A bunch of links and a discussion of Ham apps
with Puppy Linux here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=15972

You will want a logging app with DX spotting and
callsign lookup:  Try jlog

For some digital apps try fldigi

QSSTV would be good for slow scan TV

VXU for rig control and programming (Yaesu's e.g. FT-857)

There are many other apps for the Amateur Radio Service
under Linux but it really depends on what you'd like to
learn and try first.

HTH ... KD4E
