[Linux-ham] Congrats!

[Jim Ray]

i dunno about silly yet think difficult would be an appropriate
descriptor.  with all that talk about pspice and ten zillion other
things, i'm wondering if my little ole pea brain has the capacity to
absorb the skills.

is there a ham for dummies manual or beginner's guide available that
doesn't rely too heavily on analog circuit design but rather getting an
IP connection in my car?
