Default Classic Computer for a Ham Shack

Hi Alex, You sound like a brand new no-code Tech. Welcome to ham radio.

All those computers you mentioned will work fine, but if you really want
to do any serious computer work you're going to want to invest in a Vic
20, or a TI-99, or a Commodore 64. Power users swear by'em.

Hi SC,

Yup, I got my tech ticket a few months ago, and I'm now working on
learning code and studying for the general ticket. I hope maybe
January or February, but not until I can get my ham nook setup in the
garage plus move my radio from the car to the garage so I can actually
focus on the radio It's hard learning how to ragchew while on the
interstate. hehe

I do have a C64 on the way, and that plus what I have now should be
enough to get me going. Too much fun!

Take care,

Alex
