@IdahoViewing Hi Steve

It was made by Racal for the British army, its 12 meters tall and I put a stub in the top to mount my antennas to.

Its light, I can carry it on my own and set it up no problem

It can be ground mounted or vehicle mounted.

Its very very strong and perfect for portable use.

@k6lsn Hi John

I should recorded some of it, it was manic!

I beat my highest score.. by nearly 4 times over!

I scored 114 qso's which I'm over the moon with.

Next time i'll record some of it for you.

It was a massive improvement using the ICOM Ic-7400 over the Yaesu FT-897d and much much easier.

73 and good DX
