One of the wonderful things about amateur radio is that there is a virtually endless list of different things to try. For example, a month or so ago, I had my first non-radio Echolink QSO (after registering as a licensed user, which you must do before you'll be allowed to connect). I'd been using my laptop in my dining room to remotely operate a Ten-Tec Omni-VII in the basement, and decided to try Echolink while I had the computer set up with a headset/mic. I had a very nice talk with a couple of mobile stations on a repeater in the Washington, DC suburbs.
