[TRLog] Serial Port Networking

[Mirko Sibilja]

HI,

I share the same experience with others - at S55A/P M/O field day previous
year, we linked computers at two locations some 400 feet apart, using simple
three wire electrical power cable, (and it worked quite smooth, with not too
much problems with RF).
