I talked to VY1SK, Steve, in Vancouver who has a very soothing speaking manner. He travels the world giving talks, partily about ham radio. He's in Burnaby.

He's under QRZ.com, and it shows his little minivan.

"The little van that thinks it's a 4x4! (It really isn't!)
This is the little van that travels with my wife and I, as we journey to remote regions of Southeast Asia.

We plan to depart for the Philippines shortly and will spend Christmas there. We work with student amateur radio candidates for licensing in the Philippines for 8 weeks and depart the Philippines for Taiwan, as the minivan is shipped via steamship to Southwest Africa.

Talked to wd8cfs, Jack, in Hudson, Ohio between Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. He once lived in Austin and moved to Ohio when he was 17 (back in 57). He spent time in Killeen, Texas and Okinawa. He's just getting familiar with Echolink. He's 62 but he still remembers Barton Springs and the area. He's with an ink manufacturing company in Ohio for the commercial printing industry.

I see Joe, G0PWE, is online. Joe is

on Echolink.
He loves his sports, especially soccer/football. He's an ex military guy and loves the air shows.

It's wintry where he is in NE England near the North Sea. He used to work in the coal mines there, tough business!

Talked to Frans, PE1LGF, Echolink 29011. Frans is from Venlo in the Netherlands. For a long time we thought that Frans lived above a dress shop but we found that he is in fact a government worker. We like to kid him about pumping it up! Remember the Hans and Frans skit on Saturday Night Live. He has a fine signal on Echolink, one of the best. And he has some great beer recommendations, thought I don't recall the brands he suggested specifically.

I hear Frans has quite a view from his window of the town square, what are the chances of getting a picture of this view sometime Frans?

I used to work with a guy named Franz who was married to a woman named Anna. But the spelling is very different. We used to joke about whether is was pronounced Frons and Onna or Frans and Anna (heavy midwestern emphasis). The guy was a great carpenter though and we built three India Import stores together in California (Redding, Santa Maria and ?). Guess it was two.

I just had a fine qso with Franz, Joe, Bob, Bill and George.

The "regulars".

Franz downlowded the latest echolink and got it running.

You can get it from http://www.echolink.org/el/download.htm

It's got the cool "explorer" style windows.

Bob went out for fish and chips at the place we used to meet them regularly on Airport. We're having our own fish and chips at home, but not quite the same!

Google has some great new stuff. See Spring's main page for details, http://tvnight.org , scroll down to the end of the page, past the Ricky Williams gif.

n5deb checked in earlier in the day and reminded me about "guys and gals" and promised to check in more often after I chided her a bit.

Rich callsign g0owu echolink 65558 lives at Dudley Wren's Nest.

The Wren's Nest is a huge rock.

On the Eastern side of the rock there are seven large caves and he's right on top of the caverns. These caverns are called the Seven Sisters. It's all sealed off now.

He asked me about using a crossover cable and I recommended that he use a switch or a hub to connect the two computers instead. That way Rich could add more computers later.

That is photo from the tunnel in the Djetinaj river Canyon. That road is what is left after removal of the narow trach rail built in 19 century to connect Belgrate and Sarajevo.

Now it is not used except by us nature lovers and bikers :) It is very lovely area, about half an hour of walk from center of Uzice, my hometown.
