Hello list members,
I am Eric Clegg KU3I.

I'm new to this list but have been a ham for quite a few years.

I'm mostly on 2 meters and 440 although I do own quite a few receivers.

No HF gear that can transmit at the moment.

I'm wondering if anyone on this list has had true success attempting to work HF from an apartment or condo?

I've tried a Kenwood rig with the Outbacker antenna and tripod on my second floor balcony with limited success.

In my novice days I also tried the B&W vacationer antenna with limited success.

I'd love to get back into HF again and am particularly interested in Psk31.

Has anyone had any luck using that with a sound card and a computer with a screen reader such as Jaws or Window-Eyes?

Besides the ham gear I have two Siamese cats and am also interested in stereo equipment. Happen to own two high end tuners and an XM radio receiver.

I work for the state of Califoornia in the department of rehabilitation as their in-house Braille transcriber.

Thanks to all on the list for any helpful comments.

73,

Eric
KU3I
