Thanks for the welcome Jeff! I appreciate it! Just a note: I can’t say I’m “working” CW yet. Today was my first attempting to LEARN CW. Heh. It’s something else, but I’m enjoying it thus far! My Grandpa was a WWII Navy Signalman, and so part of why I’m learning it is as a tribute to him. That, and it’s just fun knowing a “code.” I hope to “work” it soon, though I need to save some $$$ for the setup I would need. Just have a HT right now. 73! -Craig KD8NJZ

Good luck with the Mac Mini. I just added one to my collection of PC’s.
So far it’s been a good experience. Have you tried any ham software for the Mac? That’s going to be my next experiment.
