------------------------

Was nice to hear active NCCC'ers.  Only had time to dabble with this one. Not much So. Cal. activity....at least not when I was on. Only got 2 LA stations on 2 mtrs. 
And poor scatter on 6mtrs Sunday morning. :(

But it was still fun hooking up with every one again.

------------------------
Any one have any thoughts on these HF + 6,2,432 radios. Thinking about replacing some of my old junk:

FT 897
IC 706MKIIG
IC-7000

Looking for a modern radio with a sensitive front-end that wont cave with big signals.
