Message-ID: Date: 6 Mar 90 00:34:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 18 Hello... I dont quite know how to explain this or how to properly phrase these questions, so I will give it my best... --------------------------- I am interested in eventually having my own Internet "node"... I have heard this is possible by being a Ham Radio operator and running the KA9Q TCP/IP software... is this true... Now this one is going to seem really silly... what is needed expense wise and training wise to be a ham operator? --------------------------- Thank you... Rob Lizak Jr.
