Current Status: Shipped my 950 back to YAESU to see if they can fix it. Hoping since it was an indirect lightning strike all the damage is easily fixed. Wish me luck! (...more)

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.
