For several days, only hams could get out, and talk to others.

No Morse Code required for Technician class licensee
New hand helds start at about $85 and up for single band 
transcievers at many dealers, just fyi.

Long live Knoppix, and Puppy Live Linux cd's.
Complete  operating systems free if downloaded.
I am running w/o a hard drive on both!!
