    New Icom Pro III

    Icom IC-756ProIII

    After my Yaesu FT-ONE retired to become a boat anchor last spring,  and after unsuccessful attempts to repair it, I bought an Icom Pro III.  I decided to go with the smaller transceiver instead of the larger heavier Yaesu FT-1000  It’s great to be back on the air again! Hopefully I can plan an expedition soon.

    Keeping my contesting techniques up to snuff

    I joined the Frankford Radio Club when I was 13 years old back in the 60’s. Most of my contesting was at WA2BLV’s station not far from where I lived. I recently became an active member. It’s been a privilege to operate at some of the members world class stations.
