Hi, John! Thanks for getting back to me regarding my questions.
First, my condo has casement windows, and the building's of brick
construction. Not sure whether the brick outside has a ledge to
which I might connect an antenna. Am waiting for a J-pole antenna to
be qavailable from HRO, but none in stock as yet.
Also, where and what program do I need to go onto
packet? Thanks.--Matt Chao, N1IBB.
