Looks like a nice rig ..... BUT considering the age of the hams today maybe it is a bit small. I have noticed over the years the rigs get smaller and smaller. Soon I will need a magnifing glass and a toothpick just to push the buttons. What happened to the impressive shacks of the 50's with all the Heath gear. With the new mulitband rigs and their size, your shack is reduced to a bigger handheld that you can put away on the shelf until you need it..... Sounds like the XYL's are driving the design maybe ..... -- Bill Booth VE3NXK Sundridge ON, Canada 79.23.37 W x 45.46.18 N FN05ns Visit my weather WebCam at http://www.almaguin.com/wxcurrent/weather.html Organ and Tissue Donation - The Gift of Life Talk to your family.
