 1600 HST, Zoom with over 100 participants on the RATPAC with WX4TV, Jim Lea, presentation of GO-KITS. Well done I learned much. I have had problems with my RIGRUNNER. He gave alternatives. The presentation was recorded and worth watching.

Posted this: AH6QO Kevin 2000-2025 HST, 146.980, no readable voices, just an impression of voices. nothing heard on 146.520 and 146.565 (dual-band receive on both freqs at the same time.)
