Tony,

That's a few. At least you would be able to take part in the "ailment nets" that seem to pop up (often on 2m repeaters or 80m). Sports
injuries don't seem to have quite the same impact there. ;)

They are having fun with the "virus nets"...even some dancing girls
called "The Virusettes". <G>

I can't remember what our peak was.

Arkansas had a second peak last week...likely because more folks are
being tested. I get tested on June 1, in preparation for hernia surgery
on June 4.

We don't have any of those, but we do have the isolation net, which is a good way to keep in touch every day. :)

I've done some major work on my remote base/EchoIRLP node. It's performing much better, and I've added extra SDR input frequencies and the ability to have remote radios to the system. I'm getting up to a couple of miles on 6m, and that's with a makeshift antenna that's way too short, no groundplane and sitting right next to the PCs! :) I'll have to hook it up to a proper 6m antenna and test. :)

I've wondered if there's a USB adapter for an Ethernet cable connection.
The Lenovo Windows 10 64-bit laptop, only has 2 USB ports, an HDMI port for
a monitor, and connects to the internet via Wi-Fi. Echolink doesn't like
that, unless you're possibly using a proxy server. So, for now, I had to
put Echolink on the same computer as the BBS...but all the rest of the ham radio stuff is on the Lenovo laptop.

Sounds like you have a port forwarding issue, possibly "double NAT" if you have a wifi router and a DSL modem. connected together. This is one of my pet peeves in IT, they make consumer devices so that its easiest to connect them together in the worst way possible, and 99% of the population don't have the knowledge and skills to avoid that (or even know that it's happening). :/

If you have a double NAT problem, it won't work (without special configuration - effectively double port forwarding). You seemed to ignore/miss the double NAT part of my response as a potential cause of failure. But to be sure, I need to know your network layout.

It's supposed to be in next Wednesday at the Post Office Box, where
I have stuff shipped when I order from Amazon...and I'm supposed to
see the female hernia surgeon for a followup...plus get bloodwork
prior to the next Low-T treatment.

I think that next time, instead of getting them in the butt cheek,
I'll have them done in the abdomen above the groin. For several weeks
after that last one, it was like someone was stabbing me in the hip,
as I got in and out of the car. My butt cheek was so bruised, that
it looked like some woman had spanked the dickens out of me (I might
have enjoyed it more...remember, dirty old Sysops need love, too <G>).

For males, though...not taking care of low testosterone can lead to,
or aggravate cardiovascular and diabetes issues...like we needed
something else to worry about.

As for the hernia surgery, the pain has been far less than expected,
with only needing Ibuprofen and Tylenol, to take care of it. But, I have
to wear a girdle/binder, except for when I'm sleeping...or fighting the
cat for a space in the litterbox <G>. I'll probably have to wear it for
support for the rest of my life.

Let's put it this way...as uncomfortable as the dual COVID19 nasal swabs were, I'd rather get a prostate check with the doctors finger being swollen.

Or like the cartoon where a guy is sitting on the exam table, with a
C-Clamp around his waist and hips, holding his butt cheeks together. The
doctor notes "Patient is rather reluctant to have his prostate checked".
When I showed to my urologist (who has since retired), I thought he'd
pee his pants, or die laughing. <BG>

The surgery went rather well, thank you very much.

They did slice me in 4 places (it was laparoscopic), and I've
been wearing a binder/girdle for support. The pain has been
relatively minor, with only needing Ibuprofen and Tylenol to
take care of it.

I saw the surgeon yesterday for a follow-up, and she was

That penguin is homesick again, it's headed south. :P

Down under, it's almost winter...while we start summer here.

Now, if you mean meteorologically, you are correct. :)

Officially too - turn off the US/Northern Hemisphere centric part of your brain. ;) I could take it a step further and mention that there are actually 6 seasons here, according to those who have the real knowledge (i.e. Aborigines), based on thousands of years of observation and knowledge passed down.

and knowledge passed down.

Speaking of knowledge, Sean Dennis, KD5COL, wants some information on Echolink and conference servers. He runs Outpost BBS and Micronet...so,
if you get a chance, could you please drop him a line?? He's considering starting an Echolink Conference for Sysops who are Hams. He's also in
FIDONet.

OK, not sure if I can offer any practical help, but that's not because I don't know anything. That's more to do with the admin policies of the Echolink admins. It can be hard to get a new conference server up, though not impossible. If he can get over that hurdle, I can help with the technology.

He's welcome to netmail me here if he's on VKRadio, or on Fidonet at 3:633/410.

He said his netmail is basically worthless outside of Zone 1. So,
I'll just email him your address. He's getting a vanity callsign, but
I have no idea what the new one will be. I can't complain about that,
as I've had 3 of them, plus my original one.

I don't encounter that virus as much as I used to. :P

The surgery went rather well, thank you very much.
They did slice me in 4 places (it was laparoscopic), and I've
been wearing a binder/girdle for support. The pain has been
relatively minor, with only needing Ibuprofen and Tylenol to
take care of it.

Very good!

I saw the surgeon yesterday for a follow-up, and she was
very pleased with my recovery.

Hopefully...going to see mine late in September for my 6-month checkup.
