Thank you Riverman. Now i have to figure out how to set up the station. Im pretty much set on buying the IC 7300. I think thats the easy part. I have read your posts on the Perfect antenna. Not sure which way i will go. OFC is likely, but EF and CF are still in the running. One would think i would know more about this stuff, being i have studied the testing books and passed and got a license. But i got my dog a license and it still may pee in the corner. I have learned more practical info on here from real world experience . Hence, reading the posts from you and many others. Thank you.
