Well all, I took advantage of the crappy weather today and played very 
extensively with ham radio deluxe and while you need the jaws curser for a 
lot of the functions, I must say, I finally did get it to remotely control 
my HF radio and made a couple contacts using skype as the VOIP program. I 
couldn't get IP sound to be very jaws friendly but I'll play with that from 
time to time. This is so cool. I'll have to go out somewhere with internet 
access some day and really play with it from outside the house. I wish I had 
this figured out, and a computer that will run the remote server, a year ago 
when we had a dam almost let go in town here and the HF radio in the EOC 
didn't work. Not that we used HF or anything, but the last 2 nights when the 
shelter had quiet hours and I was sitting in the EOC doing nothing but 
waiting for a call on any radio or phone in the communications room, being 
able to jump on HF would sure have been nice. Oh well, I'll have a new toy 
in the summer now too.
