A lightning strike burned my antennas, radio, amp, power supplies, etc. As a working man, it took a lot of time and $weat to put my chosen station together. Unit 25 from Tn will be QRT, but will take memories of many great DX and QSOs. Thanks to Copper for the sales of the equipment, which was the motivator to get my tech ticket. Thanks to forum members whom chimed in when I needed you. It is you that keep this great hobby alive and enjoyable. And of course, thanks to XYL for tolerating my affection for radios and for holding your breath every time this old man climbed up the towers. For now; 73 de Carlos |
