for when the prop has died for the day!
this is really good.....i've used this for a week or so now and it is a great substitute for when the prop is non-existant!
maybe could get a few FB nets going on here would be an interesting way to meet other FB members and still use radio freq's albiet virtually!......its just a suggestion anyway heres the link
it would be interesting if any other fb members have tried this hamsphere

This is pretty cool, it does strangely feel like using a radio. I was reaching for the squelch button lol. All the QRM from my neighbours BT hub and TV wont stop me now muhahahaha

Re: for when the prop has died for the day!
I think it's an excellent idea, and I'm a member.
You do, of course, need to have a microphone wired into the computer, and I used a conventional CB microphone, as it 'felt better'...
I did have problems though and haven't used it for a while now - the problem was pulsing and chopped audio, as though insufficient data was able to come down the line despite my connection supposedly offering twice the speed required by Hamsphere.
I do like the band noise, and the way QSB is rendered on the stations - a very good introduction to amateur radio for those without the real hardware.
Also good fun even if you do have the real hardware...
