We had to rent a gas powered concrete saw and was able to cut and move the slabs in half a day. Once the cuts were made, we were able to lever the slabs up enough to get a chain under them. Then drug them out of the way with the golf cart.

I have been seriously tempted, that is a great price for sure. But I will be on vacation with the family next week, so that money is already spent...

Listening for Europe in the early morning, getting ready for work. The past two days I have heard Scotland, and today I was able to make contact. Using the LT-310sdr in whisper mode with the AI filter set to 8, the RF gain set to 7, and the preamp on the 203, I can now copy what I normally...
