[Vk5-wx-sonde] N4021285

[Paul Roehrs]

Undulating sandhill country with low vegetation and tidal pools and 
streams.  Sonde was about 2 metres away from a 4 metre wide shallow 
pool, but the reflector was on good clear ground.

Mark I am_slowly_ working up a tracking system for both home and field 
using a laptop and your instructions.  I have the rtl-sdr dongle  and I 
have ubuntu installed dual boot with windows 10,  but my linux/unix 
skills have been unused for about 20 years so it is rather slow going.  
A bit stuck on installing kalibrate but rtl-sdr install went OK.
