So this has been a really long week. I haven't had the time to go on air much, but did make a few contacts today. I had to go from the warm and sunny south to the cold and congested north. Very unpleasant.
On the plus side, I was finally able to save enough and sell enough toys to afford my new toys!! So headed my way is an Icom IC-880 D-Star 2 meter / 70cm dual bander and a Yaesu FT-857D all mode HF/VHF/UHF mobile rig. Hopefully they will be waiting for me when I get home.
Thankfully the price of silver has gone up quite a bit since I dabbled in coin collecting.... OK, OK I was actually about $150 short so I used some of my everyday money, but I will make up for that by selling my FT-2900... or will I? It might be nice to keep a single bander just to have around.... and it starts all over again!
I have a few plans on how to make them look good, be accessible and functional all at the same time. When I install them, i'll upload some pictures.
Contacts this week: KB8FMW, KD8OQM and NA4D.
Until Next Time DE WW1F 73's.
