Hi Kelly, Just to let you know that I've downloaded your Hamsphere application and had no problems installing the software and getting it up and running. My computer is an HP Presario V5005US laptop (Mobile Sempron 3000+ 1.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD) AMD processor and running Windows XP. Internet access is by cable modem. The only observation that I can make is that the application turned itself off every three (3) minutes continually. I don't know if this is the result of the software or my computer. I called CQ a few times on 7055, but did not manage to make a contact. When I tried to use the application today, all I keep getting is: NAK: No access. Other than that, great piece of software and I'm looking forward to beta testing HamSphere. Could you add my callsign, VA3QN into the system and provide me with my own PIN-code. 73s Jean-Paul (JP) VA3QN
