Has anyone out there had any luck in using the Amiga as a terminal for transmitting morse code, or any other kind of data over a HAM radio? I know there are jillions of programs to do this on the C-64, but as yet, I havnt seen anything of the sort on the Amiga. (please E-mail me, my amiga-net feeds have been acting strange lately) UUCP: ....!crash!pro-charlotte!steelie | Pro-Charlotte - (704) 567-0029 ARPA: crash!pro-charlotte!steelie@nosc.mil| 300/1200/2400 baud 24 hrs/day INET: steelie@pro-charlotte.cts.com | Log in as "register"

On BBS-JC (415/961-7250 (300,1200,2400) for your land-liners out there!) we have a special HAM section. There's also a phone patch into the system (an Amiga A1000) and the primary SYSOP has a HAM setup you just wouldn't believe. Several programs are on the BBS for those who'd like to improve their CW copy speed. Thad Floryan [thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ...!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad] co-SYSOP BBS-JC P.S. Neglected to mention my GCDIST (Great Circle Distance Calculator) program (source and both 68000 and 68020/68881 executable) is on the BBS too for those who'd like to orient their antennas. This started as a (simple!) project to align my antennas to WWV for my Heath NBS clock (whose RS-232 output is used to set my Amiga's clock) and ended up being an interesting discovery into the vagaries of haversine formulae. The next version of the program will have graphical representation of the "world" corresponding to the points of interest (once the data bases (coordinates of EVERY city on earth; and all geographic points) have been entered; stay tuned (but don't hold your breath) for an announcement.

I have a couple programs written in AmigaBASIC (hey, no flames! :-) ) which could be used for transmitting and receiving Morse Code. One is a program which will output a string at a speed you specify in wpm. The other is a program I used with a circuit described in an old issue of Popular Electronics which will receive Morse Code, automatically adjusting to the speed of the sender. I will upload the programs to comp.sources.amiga some time in the next couple of weeks... -- Dan Howell <...!pyramid!comdesign!ivucsb!dan> <dan@ivucsb.UUCP> -- "I can't see you so don't pretend to be there."
