To test Curt's fixes to the list, and to avoid another test message without real content this is a repost of something I sent last month that got eaten.

(we're only a few miles south of SeaTac and right on the flight path) That got old real quick, so I'm using an alternative. For those of you with a Google ChromeCast and a big screen, Google's Chrome browser has a plugin that will cast any screen or window (at least on Linux). So I'm casting the Xastir window and she watches on the big screen. You might also want to select larger fonts, but beware, xastir doesn't scale fonts well because it has fixed offsets when you turn on things like altitude and speed. I need to tie them to selected font size but haven't figured out exactly how to do that yet. Hard coded works great, but I need to pass in the selected font size. Ken, N7IPB P.S. Thanks to Curt I now have three dongles, a plethora of connecting cables, a multiport hub to handle them all, a discone antenna and a splitter to feed them with.
