On BBS-JC (415/961-7250 (300,1200,2400) for your land-liners out there!) we
have a special HAM section.  There's also a phone patch into the system
(an Amiga A1000) and the primary SYSOP has a HAM setup you just wouldn't
believe.  Several programs are on the BBS for those who'd like to improve
their CW copy speed.

P.S. Neglected to mention my GCDIST (Great Circle Distance Calculator)
program (source and both 68000 and 68020/68881 executable) is on the BBS too
for those who'd like to orient their antennas.  This started as a (simple!)
project to align my antennas to WWV for my Heath NBS clock (whose RS-232
output is used to set my Amiga's clock) and ended up being an interesting
discovery into the vagaries of haversine formulae.  The next version of the
program will have graphical representation of the "world" corresponding to
the points of interest (once the data bases (coordinates of EVERY city on
earth; and all geographic points) have been entered; stay tuned (but don't
hold your breath) for an announcement.
