[20:17] <FunnyLookinHat> ?!
[20:17] <FunnyLookinHat> !!
[20:17] <joey> tekoholic: ok our next goal is to shame rockstar into getting his ticket. He's been studying for months :-)
[20:18] <FunnyLookinHat> Ticket for what?
[20:18] <tekoholic> joey: How shameful shall we be??  I didn't even study...
[20:19] <joey> tekoholic: he can probably pass extra in his sleep at this point
[20:19] <joey> FunnyLookinHat: ham radio!
[20:19] <tekoholic> 'Course, I've been playing with the "Chicken-Band" for years...
[20:19] <FunnyLookinHat> Oh you hammers.....
[20:19] <FunnyLookinHat> Pardon me for preferring digital transmissions... :)
[20:20] <tekoholic> We can use digital...
[20:20] <FunnyLookinHat> Errr... you can?  What frequency?
[20:20] <FunnyLookinHat> And what protocol?
[20:20] <FunnyLookinHat> I thought HAM was limited to shortwave analog transmissions...
[20:21] <tekoholic> Whatever the Ham License we carry, and the hardware we possess are capable of, I believe...
[20:22] <tekoholic> I've got a local pal, has a radio that can transmit AM, FM, Digital, Analog, and on nearly any frequency in any of the Ham Bands...
[20:23] <tekoholic> Can even transmit data and voice on the same channel simultaneously, although I think that's ONLY in digital modes.
[20:25] <FunnyLookinHat> Yeah I'm pretty sure it would have to be digital.
[20:25] <FunnyLookinHat> But that's awesome - very cool
[20:26] <tekoholic> FunnyLookinHat: Where ya' from?  I'm in Wellington
[20:26] <FunnyLookinHat> Denver - but I work in Boulder...  My parents live in Loveland though - so I'm familiar with N. Co.
[20:28] <tekoholic> Nice.  I have a few clients in Loveland.
[20:30] <FunnyLookinHat> tekoholic: what do you do ?
[20:31] <tekoholic> I'm a computer tek
[20:31] <FunnyLookinHat> Ah ok - nifty
[20:31] <tekoholic> I've converted a good few to (K)Ubuntu
