I run the PROII and love it but, have heard nothing but good things about the TS2000. I have a friend who runs the 746 and likes it. For 1500.00 or less the PROII would be my choice. Also, the 706MKII is a great rig. Run one for a while before the PRO. I also run a FT-897d which is also good. I...

Did you get my PM? I will be getting in late on Friday and staying for Sat. and leaving on Sun. Call me at the phone number in my PM on Sat.
Hey Chong, do you remember me saying I was trying to answer you while you were calling CQ but, finally got you on another freq. while you answered my CQ. Sweet
yup, worked you. I wish I new it was you. I love field day. It takes me about a week to get caught up on sleep but, it's great. I worked 500 stations in the Natural Power trailer. 300 consecutive then took a break because I could barely talk. Then 200.
I made 475 contacts on 20 and 40 IN 4 hours. Your call sounds familiar. My call was W4XD and K4MRA. I had people stacked continously for 300 and made 175 in 1 hours this AM, Man am I tired
Tony, I make my own with a free program called QSL Maker. They also have an article in this months QTH mag. Very easy to use and makes excellant quality cards
