    40 anyone?

    I'm thinking we should try 40 meters tonight.
    Any takers?
    7.245 around 7:00 Central.

    Sounds good to me.

    I have a '940 apart on the bench for mods at the moment - if I get the thing finished I'll use it. Else I'll try the FT-901.

    I would like to try and get some reports on my FT-107 audio if you guy's put this together. My 897 is on the fritz right now. :(
    7PM central I presume?

    Just trying to get this old neglected rig going...must have a relay sticking, it's slow switching back to receive after transmitting.
    Ack! Both my Yaesu's are having problems!
