That's a really nice radio.
Lots of guys here have the ts-480, or have had one.
If you put up the antenna in the snow, it will work better.
LOL!!!

Hi, Dave.  Thanks.  Yes, I already have the rig, antenna and feed line,
along with the rope and other accessories.  We'll have an antenna party once
the snow in my backyard melts, probably in a few weeks.  For HF, I have a
TS480SAT.  So, should be interesting.  Looking forward to DX-ing and/ or All
States.--Matt, N1IBB.
