[SADXA] Packet and cluster success

[Douglas Todd]

Hi Everyone,

I spent the weekend getting packet radio and DX clusters to work. CRC 
doesn't have Internet at the shack,  and there is a desire to use the 
station for contesting. We can get DX spots using two meter packet radio. 
Over the next week, I plan on getting DX packet spotting set up at the CRC. 
With that, and some low band antennas, we will have  a decent contesting 
station.

I'd be happy to discuss this and pass on my experience. I know there are 
other solutions, but this  represents a starting point.
