(info as of 25 Feb 1990)

I've put together the following listing in response to requests here
on the net for information on amateur radio programs for the Macintosh.

This is a one-time posting on my part. If someone would like to 
volunteer to keep this information updated, I'd be happy to send him
or her the background materials I have. It would be even better if that
person was also on packet radio; when I had a packet system up and 
running, I noticed frequent Macintosh questions there, too. (If anyone 
wants to post this listing on packet, go ahead. But I'll leave it to 
you to take out the prices, divide it into smaller chunks, etc.)

Please note that I am not endorsing or recommending any of these programs.
In fact, I've only seen a few of them. The information in this list was
gleaned mostly from flyers supplied by the software vendors, or in some
cases from reviews or listings in QST or AMSAT Journal. Please check
with the vendors for the latest product details, pricing, etc.

And--this should be obvious--this listing has absolutely no endorsement
by Apple Computer, Inc. 

Having said all that....enjoy!


73,
Patty
