Hello,
Have you transfered a binary file with the YAPP protocol lately? Took hours? 30, 40 , 50 characters per second?
Why not invest a little money into some wifi gear and hook up with a friend, or group of friends, locally and enjoy 100 Kbytes, 200 Kbytes, 300 Kbytes per second or more, all while having a video qso , emailing, searching their web pages, accessing normal ax25 packet radio services and mail/bulletins.
Using extremely cheap 802.11b Wireless lan gear and a couple of directional antennae you can get up onto 2.4 GHz and enjoy some really fast digital communications!!
The best buy I have seen for a while is the Minitar Access Point, www.minitar.com, these are a small +18dbm (60mW) 802.11b compliant access point that can also be used in client mode so you and your friend can link together. Or set up a small local area network using one as a central access point and "repeat" (like a standard network hub) all your data so as others can receive it and link to you.
I personally have not played more with antennae, feeds and cable runs since starting in wireless lans so anyone who says it is NOT HAM RADIO, is very mistaken.
Look into it, you will be suprised just how cheap it can be to get a relativity decent system up and running.
Regards
