Hi all,
> Trippy here, wd8oep here.
> I have 2 questions.
> 1.  Which HF rig is more accessible?  The 570D Kenwood, the Kenwood
TS2000?  Or, the Icom 7000?
> Is there a rig that is even better than those?
> I know the 570D will not speak menus, and I'd really like to do that.
> Now, are any of you using antennas that will work inside an apartment, or,
on a balcony?
> I live in a highrise for seniors and disabled, and I'm on the 2nd floor.
> So, I'd like to work 10 through 80 meters.
> I throught about just taking a piece of copper wire, and hooking it up to
an auto tuner and tiing it to the balcony.
> Any help the list can give would be appreciated.
> You can send an email to my inbox at the following address
