[Skimmertalk] Funcube Dongle

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Steve,

Good to hear.

As a favor to those who would like to do exactly what you are doing, could
you please write-up the procedure, step-by-step with screen shots, and post
it on the Internet somewhere?  Maybe a link from your QRZ.COM page?

Thanks!

73,
Bob, N6TV
