Are all geeks pilots?  Gotta get my many-motors one day -- difficult
here in Panama, though. Tough enough finding a bird to fly (forget
staying IFR current).

While I'm not a HAM, guess I should be (got the knowledge, but my code
is _real_ rusty).  I run two SailMail stations here (HF e-mail for
boaters). I'm branching out to more than boaters -- just bought
SSBMail.net (no page yet, though).  Thought I'd see if there's any
interest among the folks in the bush.
