First, TNX to all for the suggestions on antenna possibilities for dad. I'll
have to get with him and do some experimenting. BTW he's apparently still
planning to stay active on ham radio: he just renewed his license -- at age
90!
Second, I noted W4ZV's post on the recent additions to Sherwood's test table
with interest as an IC-7000 is apparently slated to be part of the package in
our county's new mobile EOC (note that I was _not_ involved in the equipment
selection process). Is it my limited understanding of the specs cited, or is
the IC-7000 -- well --- unimpressive (to be polite) according to Sherwood's
tests? I'm just wondering how it will stand up in real-world conditions (like
if the club decides to "borrow" it for field day use). Looks like I need to
figure on dragging one of my old PTO based TT rigs out to the site if they
talk me into running the club's "token" CW station again this FD....
