At first I thought it was some sort of HF remote. They really are misleading 
since that's the game they're playing. I think it confuses quite a few 
people until they try it. I think if they're going to charge for it they 
should just say it's virtual HF--not real. Otherwise if you want to pay for 
using a VOIP cliental, well I guess!

Thanks, John. ... I too prefer real radio, but I just wasn't totally sure
what it was.

To heach his/her own, I guess.  (grin)

I can already hear John Miller on this one, and in this case, I have
to agree. Worked DX? Hardly. HF bands? Not. There's no radio. No
radio, no propagation, no bands. It's VOIP dressed up like a radio. No
radio on *either* end of the connection. And to add insult to injury,
you get to pay for the privilege of playng in the CQ100 sandbox. No
thanks!
