First A99 I had, a buddy donated it to me. It was as old as I was I believe but it was fine. It suffered a horrible and painful death during an ice storm, poor A99.

* side note here - cutting down a 102” whip makes a great replacement for the end section*

I bought a new one when my son was about 10 maybe, he’s 21 now. It still looks good and still functions perfectly. But I want more, bigger, better... I want a six million dollar man antenna setup now.

I personally won’t be happy until I have about a 100ft tower and a small farm of antennas on top of it. Maybe then I could actually use my Yaesu 897.
