[ale] OT - Hobby - Breadboard Kits

[Brian J. Dowd]

Get your ham radio license see http://www.arrl.org
You can spend your time interfacing radio with linux
and homebrewing (building yourself) all sorts of neat
radio equipment.
The basic license test is not all that difficult any more. The
entry level license requires only
some basic knowledge of electronics but *no more* morse code!
