I've finally upgraded my last Linux PC to Debian 10, the most complex in my shack (compiled executables for fldigi, flrig, TQSL, and of course WSJT-X among several other apps and stacks). Overall the process went smoothly, since I've heavily documented what I've done previously. Apologies if this

Jim, Under FCC rules, automatic control means not having a control operator present at a control point. This applies to all of the sections you specified. If I want to sit in front of my computer (the control point) and read my e-mail, the newspaper or watch TV while my program is doing the a
