Victoria Shaw wrote the following that inspired me:
To many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away.
'Til we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today.
So don't you stand upon the shore line and say your satisfied.
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.

Click on the WinLink logo above to learn about RX and TX e-mail using Amateur Radio packet, pactor, or the new Winmor soundcard mode. N7YO-3 in Great Falls is the local 1200 baud packet RMS Switch. on 145.010 using Air Mail, Pac Link, or RMS express, email with attachments is possible on the RMS Switch. I have been testing all three packet programs and if you have any questions I would be glad to try and answer. Also, if your on APRS try the new Win Link program APRS Link where you can send and receive text only e-mail on the APRS system. I have tested it and if your familiar with the old packet BBS system, APRS Link will be quite easy as a lot of the commands are BBS commands (Oh the memories).. I have also tested HF using a Kantronics KAM Plus (Thanks Doug K7YD for its use) at the State DES using their Icom-728 and my computer. I hope they hook up the new AEA PK-232MBX up to the Icom and setup HF Mail with the DES callsign and train operators how to set it up and operate. My AEA DSP-2232 (Satellite Modem but has all the HF modes and is full dual port with about 40 different modems) so I tested it on Pactor I with my Yaesu FT-847. I have a Signal Link USB interface and will test WinMor in the near future. I read about the Winmor and it is suppose to almost as fast as Pactor II which is three times the speed of Pactor I. Larry, N7YET, of Dillon, Mt. told me he really enjoys WinMor and would be glad to help out. Todd, AE7V, from Warden, Mt. is retrieving NTS traffic I think using Winmor and bringing it to the Montana Traffic net. Try some of this great software and maybe even try HF pactor or Winmor as it is becoming a integral part of RACES and ARES communications. Get some advanced training/experience so if ever needed, your ready to help out with emergency communications in the digital modes. If a real disaster does occur and all internet goes down, I will have the ability to send and receive e-mail on Amateur Radio HF at my home. One of the reasons Amateur Radio exists, is to train and be ready to help out in an emergency situation with communications.

My good friend Don Heide took this picture as I reached the top and started work connecting the new coax to the antenna. 70 feet up and having fun at a very young age of 63 !!!
From a distance the same picture to give an excellent perspective of where I am on top of a 8000 foot mountain on top of a 70 foot tower !! Thanks Donnie !!

The above picture is the QSL card for KC4USV taken from out on the Ross Ice Sea looking at McMurdo Station with Mt. Erabus (active Volcano) as a nice back drop.
Another love of my life and here I am on Grand Targhee Ski Area in Idaho. My home ski area is Great Divide Ski area near my home in Helena, Montana.
