I'll be at sea for it. The good news is that we have an HF rig onboard.

<snip>. Cheaper than the $800+ new, but I may find a used rig at the Louisville Hafest. That's not til September though . . .
Maybe a generation back for $275-$350.  Try QRZ.com, eHam.net, etc.

Hi;

     RASTUS,  I did HF work when in the Military and decided that I did not need to pursue it when I got my ticket. I use to monitor  14.313  and adjorning freq's - that made up my mind.

     I am more interested in what is going on within 1-200 miles of the QTH that what Fritz, Sean, Pablo or Mohammed has to say !

Yes but I find it cool talk with buddies hundreds miles away in the morning...not so much with the UHF/VHF. 

I'll be at sea for it. The good news is that we have an HF rig onboard.

That will be some interesting contacts.........

Did you ever get to use an elephant cage?  Those things really look imposing.

<snip>Almost makes me want to get my HF antenna up in time.

Alf, did you get the email with the attachments?

And for neophytes like me (who are interested, but not sure) you can listen to some Ham channels online.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Yes and no. Some of the short range repeaters can be found at http://www.radioreference.com/ but I am not aware of the HF frequencies being available on line as they are variable and not set up as "channels". Hope this helps.
The time for action is upon us and the enemy is at our gates. Let us not allow them one more inch of advancement but instead throw them through the gates of Hell.

Yes.... I was speaking in general terms, and not this enterprise specifically, and should have mentioned that.
Thanks.

Actually, yes you can listen onlne. There are several websites dedicated to shortwave and HF listening. You can even tune specific radios from your pc.
Don't remember the names of the websites, but I'm sure a quick search will find them.
