Yes, that is certainly my plan, Keith
It has been quite a steep learning curve for some of the Pi things. I literally had never even seen one until I set this thing up and I had no idea what an SSH or an FTP was. I don't claim to understand the code being written to my Pi but I'm getting pretty good at copying and pasting the codes suggested on the RF24 Forum and at least I can now talk to my Pi though my MacBook's Terminal (something else I didn't know existed).
I think program writing has moved on a bit since I used punched cards and BASIC for my O level computer studies (admittedly we did get super advanced for A level and used a fancy BBC B computer with a tape recorder to save our programs) but I think I might see if there is a book or YouTube course to see if I can get to grips with some of this Pi code and write my own program for spelling rude words. I assume that's what kids are still doing.
Yes, an OGN-R station will be fun
