I am off the air right now due to problems with my radios but once I can get them fixed and possibly purchase a new rig, I will definitely be back on the air even if I have to hide my antenna during the day and put it out at night.

I have a couple of netbooks that work great running Linux.  They're just buried in a bunch of junk.  I'd like to see if I can get a HP Elitebook 840 G4 laptop with a high resolution display.  They're business laptops so no gaming on them but they all run Linux wonderfully.  I have an 840 G1 right now and it is showing its age a bit because it is low resolution (1300x866 or something). It's a good emergency laptop though running Devuan Linux.
