[OFARC] FW: Re: 40 ft pole

[Stephen Flowers]

Hey Wes,

Good evening.  Hal's recent configuration of WSJT-X in Linux motivated 
me to try to get WSJT-X running in my Raspberry Pi about a week ago.  I 
tried the following:

1. installing WSJT-X in the Raspberry PI - did *_not _*work

2. building (compiling/linking) WSJT-X from source code in the raspberry 
PI - *_didn't _*work

3. re-imaged the Raspberry PI and loaded the latest WSJT-X - _/*worked 
OK!*/_

It was a learning experience but my primary WSJT-X machine is still my 
Windows 10 laptop.  So I'm not using the Raspberry PI to run WSJT-X 
though it's working there.

After re-imaging the Raspberry PI, I noticed that there's a /C compiler/ 
and a /Python interpreter/ in it by default. So I've been doing some 
coding in it these past few days.

73!
