Amateur Radio rallies are arranged throughout the uk, often advertised as Radio and Computer Rally. Computers are used in Amateur Radio, would be nice to see applications written for Linux and not just microslow.
The RSGB has a list of rally dates and locations, please tell me if you have problems finding information. Michael.
