Congrats on the new rig, Mike, and an early Merry Christmas as well!

Can't wait to hear that new rig on the air!

A week ago last Friday, I bought a TS590 from Main Trading Company just
before I posted their price to this list.

It arrived at the UPS store last Wednesday, but since we were headed out of
town for the weekend to surprise a friend for his 86th birthday, we left it
there until today.

I just got it unpacked, sat on the desk, and the cable routed to the power
supply..

Kathleen will look at the manual and install the VGS1 tomorrow evening. 
She is still in recovery mode from the drive this weekend, so we didn't
tackle that one tonight.

I will wait until that is done to fire it up.

First new HF rig since my TS570 in 1998.

Now, thanks to I Can Work This Thing dot Com, I have a bunch of reading to
do.

Beats the heck out of Trick or Treat any day.
