Comments:

Back in my home QTH after a year in an apartment while we built the house. Now
the rebuilding of VE3HG contest station begins with a new FlexRadio 6600 which
BTW was out of the box and on the air within 15 minutes with most of that time
spent getting my home network up and running. Spent last week in -5 degree C
throwing up a Par End-Fed 20/40 wire and a RadioWavz 40-10 Windom. Both were at
about 25' and both work very very well considering I'm rebuilding my 50' tower
with a TA-33 with 40-meter extensions and I'll be using that setup by mid summer
hopefully. The Flex 6600 is an amazing piece of gear. I've run Flex 1500 and
3000 for a long time but nothing prepared me for the ability of the 6600 to
S&P across a very active 40-meter band and listen to one signal at a time
even those which were very weak and were surrounded by kilowatts on either side
and there never being a signal I couldn't hear clearly if it was detectable
above the noise. I know some of the other top-of-the-line rigs have this
capacity but this is the first time I've experienced it. The overall feel is the
6600 is very much like my 3000 but on steroids. I can understand some don't like
the new technology but I'm thrilled and will be working on the station for the
next few months.
