Operating from lower Manhattan New York City is always a challenge. I’ve managed to have some fun despite the compromised antennas. I prefer CW but had lots of fun playing with the new IC-756ProIII.

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.
