My ID here is my old call - current call KG2V

My HF rig is a FT-1000 Field, and for UHF/VHF, I have about 10-12 rigs, ranging from an old Radio Shack, a Kenwoood G-707, and a stack of different GE commercial rigs - heck, I have 6 HTs

W6JHC here. I would love to have one of those 736's. Fantastic radio.
I have been QRT for the most part reciently.

This thread just motivated me to set up my Icom 910 base radio. I have a pair of 440 Loops stacked as well as a pair of 144 loops stacked ready to go. I can't wait to get back on the air working SSB across the region. I have an old beam up as well but it is vertical. I gues I will work a few repeaters with it.
Next to the 736 I love the Icom 910. No it isn't nearly as cool of a radio but it will work for me. The 910 is a darn good radio for working amateur birds too.
If any of the SoCal CPFrs are hams look for me out there soon.

Good deal seeing all these radio operators!
I will get into the HF once I take the Extra exam next month,
I am re-locating back to Oregon end of month! woo hoo!
Yes this FT-736R is a "neat" radio! Lots of gadgets!
I am still re-reading the manual

Cool-o.

I got mine in May of 2007. One guy I work with has been a ham since 1951!!! (Yes he is still working.)

My home rig is an Icom IC-2200H with an Icom R-1500 wideband receiver.

Mobile rig is a Yaesu VX-7R handheld that is always with me. Also have a Yaesu VX-170 with the AA battery pack and like 24 Eneloops for emergency ops. The VX-7R is a great general purpose rig since it has wideband receive.

73 de KI6J-- (PM if you want the full call)

73 from yet another ham.

I use a VX-7R handheld, Alinco 220, Yaesu 897D, and a Yaesu Fl-101/FR-101 pair (base HF).

Good luck with your new ticket!

Emergency communications is my game. All the best. Maybe we'll work each other on HF some day.

My shack when I was /4X looking west from a jut along the southern shore of the Keneret/Sea of Galilee, Israel with my Yaesu FT-817 (on the table) and MP-1 antenna (mounted to the sign). Notice Saturn and Rigel, west, in the midnight sky. I made many European contacts over a two night period from this working position including SP, OK, M, CT, IZ, and DA!

Sorry double post.

Are you ready for this? My call is KC7LED, I must be a big nerd that likes to tie his hobbies together?
I belong to a club that launches weather balloons for schools and we use APRS (GPS linked Ham radio equipment) to track and recover the payloads. We did a flight yesterday on which I sent up my Canon A570 camera with a CHDK firmware hack.

This picture was at about 90,000 feet and I think that is the Ionosphere you can see around the earth.
