Congrats on the new rig, John, and maybe, when I get my TS480, I will
try to work you.
Of course, I could with my Icom 746, which is currently the rig for my home
shack, but it'd be more fun to work you with the new rig!
And, as for money, what do they say: "You can't take it with you!"
Good luck on the classes too.
