[Pactor] FW: So glad to read pactor stuff here, again, but ../N3RF

[Johan Svanholm]

To PA3DUV
Yes, I am all set up. Only what gateway is BEST for my MD-DC location and
"low-power" 
for my KAM-Plus setup ?? Maybe that is the question.??
I guess the time I have available - it seems- is minimal but I still like
to keep MY 
 CAPABILITY for PACTOR 1 here still.
I will look forward to read this FORUM more and often in the future.
 Merry Christmas and  a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006
from Johan-in-Washigton, N3RF
