it's actually quite a nice station to use...I had lots of fun listening to
75M after last park time and marvelling at the sheer number of QSO's going
on on 75/80M phone...out here we can get about 3 going at a time and that's
pretty unusual lol.
Being right smack dab in the middle of the most heavily populated area of
north america sure makes the ham radio thing fun.
