Ingredients

Directions
- Place pepperoni slices on a plate covered in a few layers of paper towels. Lay pieces of pepperoni in rows in a single layer, not touching, on the paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute (watching carefully). If the pieces of pepperoni don't look "dry", microwave again in 15 second spurts until they look dry. Remove from microwave and sprinkle with cheese and/or seasonings of your choice. Allow to completely cool and enjoy the crunchy goodness!

LHS Episode #221: Svxlink Deep Dive

Posted on April 17, 2018April 19, 2018 by Russ Woodman

Hello and welcome to this latest episode of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the Linux-native Echolink client called Qtel, the server, called Svxlink, and the conference bridge called TheBridge. Most of the episode is devoted to getting your own Svxlink server up and running and connected to a radio for link or repeater service but we do touch on all aspects, clients and operations of Echolink. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!
