    Icom 7200

    Any Icom nerds out there? I picked up a very slightly used 7200 with power supply and mic for $500 a couple months back and finally am getting it set up.

    Old Tube Radio Network

    In the Greater Seattle we have the "Old Timer's SSB Net" at 6:30PM local on channel 16. Must be a 23 channel SSB rig or a tube rig. 10-20 people a week fire up for it!

    Anytone AT 6666

    I have the same set up here in the PNW and I've worked most of the country on it. I'm a massive fan of Sirio antennas and probably wouldn't buy any different manufacturer at this point due to their reliability and ease of use.

    Icom 7200 + Icom SM-30 Mic

    So, I was gifted a pretty cool HF rig (my first one). I want to set up the mic (it is new in box) but the adjuster on the mic seems open ended! I see it bottoms out when you turn all the way to the left but there is no way to tell what the heck one is adjusting when opening up. Can someone...

    Dude, I love Donnie Iris. I have his greatest hits CD and just about every song is a gem of a pop rock tune. Ah! Leah! may just be my favorite pop song of all time!
