    What have you done in/on ham radio this week?

    I worked a station in the Phoenix, AZ area from here in upstate NY on 28.415 with a 100 watts and a G5RV Jr strung up in the trees out back.......That was my furthest contact on 10m since I gained privledges on 10m..

    FT-7900R

    Lido cup holder mount.. Veiw from the back seat looking forward.. The chassis is mounted under the passenger seat..I run low power most of the time so heat shouldn't be an issue..

    FT-7900R

    Just pulled the trigger on a FT-7900R for the Jeep from HRO, almost with the FTM-10R but I had 7800R a while back and are more familiar with it......I used a Lido cup holder mount for the 7800R and will probably stay with that setup.. for your veiwing pleasure a poser shot of said Jeep...

    If you've owned an Icom rig has it ever had to be repaired?

    I had a nice QSO on 10m last weekend with a ham on the 746 Pro, he was using a Heil PR-781 I think.....at any rate the audio was oustanding !! :thumbup:

    I worked a 756 Pro and now are using a 756 Pro 2 no problems.....yet.. I was all set to pull the trigger on a 746 Pro a month or so ago when HRO was running that sale but the eham reviews scared me away from that rig.. :headbang

    What is keeping you from going ham?

    I do both, there are days when 11m gets on my nerves big time (see avatar) and I'll hit the ham bands......assholes are on both 11m and the ham bands, we have one asshole ham here locally that sent out an "observer letter" or whatever its called to a friend of mine because he forgot to ID after...
