Hi Kris: Congradulations on the great new rig!!! When you get on the air, how about a QSO as I am in Greenville, near Dayton, OH. We could do it on 40 or 75 mtrs, I'm sure. I am using the Kenwood TS-2000 and really like it! 73 Lowell W8QIY ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristine Hickerson" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 9:52 AM Subject: Bragging Rights! > Hi All, > > Well, I can't stand it!
