Bob Nagy is a pretty amazing guy. Folks have more fun on his repeaters
than you can imagine. And since the Spring gave him a web site, he's
gotten totally carried away. We'll forgive the fact that he ran away
from home! He's also chief engineer for KOOP/KVRX and the student tv
station and former engineer at KVUE. He now occupies a luxurious corner
office in the Botany Dept at UT where is services are hotly sought after.
He's control op for the fun filled 442.15 repeater.

A good place to start is Bob's website, but it's url is too convoluted
to remember. You can start out at http://www.spring.com/~kreblon and
follow the link.
I first met Bob at the Sun Fest years ago.

IDEA NUMBER 8: IC-756 Remote Control
Submitted by Robert J. Nagy, AB5N, of Austin, Texas
"Using any of the commonly available touchtone remote base techniques
available, control your IC-756 from the IC-2800H. Next, place SSTV units
on both ends. Place the camera in front of the IC-756's display screen. In
duplex remote operation, use one band to receive the HF audio, and the
other to send HF TX audio, and the control tones, back. Have the mobile's
SSTV receiver listening to your HF TX send side. When you want a shot of
the IC-756's screen, send the appropriate tone, and the screen shot comes
right on to the IC-2800H's display without interrupting your HF incoming
audio. You get confirmation of your remote commands - as well as a
spectral display of the HF band. Can't beat that!"

Most interesting group of 'things' in that link...but no pix of Bob! I am all disappointment. (Perhaps when he is richer he will give you his slightly used ICOM...!)

Yes, thanks! - looked in at his mom's enterprise! Good for her!
Checked out your Wild Hungarian (or should that be OUR WH???)...alas, his human relationships/obsessions link to Spring is no longer working. He is a very interesting guy...! Thanks again!

Bob is kind of the leader or our little ham radio repeater group, he built
the repeater and put up an antenna at UT that reaches all over the region.
He's quite a musician and creative thinker, and overtaxed at UT now that
he's the newly appointed life sciences department webmaster. He modeled
his home in the country after some aspects of the home I built. He was
one of the first people I met when I moved to Austin.

I have yet to meet a Ham who is not a gentleman and a most interesting individual - at least the ones from the old school who had to learn code, build a working receiver and could solder without getting their fingers joined for life. I am happy to make his acquaintance! No wonder you liked Austin if he was one of the first people you met upon arriving there. We have a few dedicated Hams here who maintain a state-wide repeater system, and an island-wide one for the state. They check in and talk briefly
once a week, as does the Navy Mars group. In fact, some overlap and are on both nets. Most interesting! And most vital during a disaster. That is how my ISP got started - by Hams needing an auxillary message board to communicate with those who could not use radio but were computer capable after Hurricane Iniki ravaged Kauai.

1 3/4" to be exact.
Bob and Karen are thinking Arkansas. We'll see. Bob's photo biz at UT is booming. They were over for dinner on the weekend and we watched the Forsyte Saga final episode. Maybe we'll do another video.

You should have heard Bob talking the the Hungarian guy the other day on Echolink. It must have been a peak moment for him. I think both of them were awestruck. Good to hear Frans back on board today.

Speaking of echolink, the new software just came out yesterday and it has a very cool new "explorer" interface. Worth downloading.
