Hi Kevin and all, haven't used Echolink, but now have an Ipod Touch,
and may try echolink out on it, as I get more familiar with the lil
apple/first experience with anything apple, and this thing's amazing
so far.
Now then, Kevin Or Anyone else, have you, heard of, know about, know
where to find, and maybe used the application which allows you to
write in text on the Iphone and Ipod, using Morse/not sure which keys
or buttons you use on the apple to do this, but the app was spoken of
toward the end of last year, and I think I might have mailed something
about it to one of the blind ham lists, although I've not been able to
find it in my sent mail file.  Just wondering, as I want to find out
more and try it out.  so if any of you have any info, I'd appreciate
it.  Thanks, Danny Dyer, Wb4idu.
