  Not me, but this is a thread of interest to me for two reasons:

  1)We have an elderly neighbor who is a ham radio operator and it
  is a major source of comfort for him. Because of his health, he is
  trying to get into a facility where he can get some care, but I
  doubt that he can take his gear with him.
   . Is there any sort of computer interface into the ham radio
     community(communities)?

 2)What may be of interest to you is that I am currently reading a
 book that is recently published by a fellow who lives in Palmer
 part of the time:
 http://www.amazon.com/Wi-Fi-Bad-Boys-Radio-Technology/dp/1457505606/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317226646&sr=1-2
 It is a good read. Starts with ham radio.
