Ed,

Quebec Sierra Lima. (hi hi).

I trimmed a bit out of mine recently.

I never could find a good app to logon to a BBS via my Android
phone.

I had used Opera from when it was still shareware, but recently
switched to Firefox.

Daryl, When I signed up for this cellphone account I picked a Motorola 4G Android phone.
I asked the saleslady to put Firefox and DuckDuckGo onthe phone for me, as I had no idea how that was done that day.
I did not want to use the Chrome browser or Search with Google's Search Engine. Even tho I figure everything I do with this phone is stored by Google since Android comes from them.
Paranoid? Yep!

Re: Firefox, I use it to get to Mikes CCO BBS Home page to sign in with this cellphone.
I see that you use MultiMail on your desktop computer to add to your daily REP file.
I REALLY miss using MultiMail DOS for reading the QWK and putting replies in a REP and then sending the REP and grabbing a QWK by using the FTP file on my desktop box.That is why I still dream of wanting to use the Router my desktop and notebook are plugged in to to go to a CAT-5 Bluetooth radio device that is plugged in to the wired Router Output jack, as the DSL Modem was years ago.
In another BBS Network I wrote about my desires and learned my big idea isn't as easy as I thunk.

At least I learned to turn on

OOPS!, I tapped the wrong area of this phone and it Saved all that I had written
I was trying to type I had learned to turn AutoRotate On so I can turn the phone longways and have larger virtual Keyboard to type onto.
And if you thought I was getting LongWinded, I AM!
And I got my RCC certificate when I was a kNovice back in the late 1950's
Also I have timed out the 3minute timer on the two meter repeater many, many times
Remembering to toggle the PTT Button on the mike just didn't come natural to Me But I do try to be a good LID.

For anyone not familiar with Amateur Radio lingo RCC means Rag Chewers Club NufSad fer now.

Mortar M,
PTT = Push To Talk The button on the microphone that is held down to transmit, released to listen
some repeaters have a timer thatstops transmitting after say 3minutes and until the longwinded ham (Me) stops talking and releases his PTT Button the repeater waits until it receives a signal in its RX (Receiver) before it starts transmitter (TX) again.

The Official definition of LID means a poor operator, one who doesn't follow the regular procedure on phone or CW.
LID is the word spoken or sent on the key when another ham gripes you so much that you want to cuss him out.
Cuss Words weren't acceptable and could have the FCC mail you a Pink Ticket (Official Notice of Violation of Part 97 Rules).
