Hi gang!

In anticipation of Pete's 220 repeater returning to the airwaves, I
bought a Wouxon 220 handheld.  A neat little radio, however between the
inscrutable instructions and ChEnglish writing of the book, I discovered
that manual programming to be a nasty exercise. Although it is kind of
fun to have the voice prompts in Chinese-makes people wonder what you
are up to!

I have downloaded the software and now need to "plug it in". I would
like to borrow one to get it going and then spring for one from the
dealer. Actually it might be easy to clone the cable.

See you all Thursday at the museum for the "Swapfest"!  Bring your
stuff.

Just to brag a bit, my son has been in school at Boeing in Seattle and
joined the Boeing ham club.  He took the course and got his tech license
a couple of weeks ago and is now KK4ELY (home QTH is Charleston SC)!  He
kept it a secret and sprung it on me last week!  Wonders never cease!
He's a pilot also, so what more can a dad ask for?
