Propagation on 2m has been really good the last 2 mornings, and here I present the results. http://www.flickr.com/photos/36563247@N07/11591386264/ This is the RaspberryPi put into service as IGate, with stations directly heard soon after dawn 300km away. I only have about 10m height above average terrain, so that's pretty impressive reception. additional The Pi is not very stable on this job, it locks up when I leave my desk. I don't know whether Xastir or Aprx is to blame for this or if the Pi is overheating.
