Special Presentation. Joe Barr, K1GPL, gave a presentation on "Ham Radio on Linux" on August 8, 2007.
Joe previously gave this presentation to the Austin Linux Users Group earlier this year. Using computers running Linux, Joe remotely accesses his HF rig at home running Flgigi (http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html) and making contacts on PSK31 and other PSK Modes.
Fldigi, written by David Freese, W1HKJ, is capable of operating CW, several versions of PSK and other digital modes. Fldigi is written for the Linux operating system and is available on his website http://www.w1hkj.com. There is a "Live CD" with Fldigi on it so that individuals running a Microsoft operating system can boot off of the Live CD and try Fldigi. Fldigi has been featured in QST magazine.
WiKi: We now have a wiki available. Create your own web pages. Share tips and hints on Linux topics. Update info started by others. Visit the Wiki to get started or just look around.
InstallFest: Each semester, SATLUG, holds an Linux Install Fest in the early weeks of classes primarily for the benefit of students but open to the public. The next such event will be held at San Antonio College's Nail Technical Center in January.
The next InstallFest will be held at the Nail Technical Center, room 105, on the San Antonio College campus. The InstallFest will begin at 9:00 a.m., Saturday, January 26, and will continue until we are finished later that day. As always, volunteers are greatly appreciated.
