Finally got more ham equipment

[Matt2001TJ]

Finally got a rig for my jeep. For now I am running it in the house. I scored a yaesu FT-2800 with external speaker, mic and mobile antenna, FT-60 dual band H/T with a mic and a Astron 35 amp power supply all for 120 bucks and most looks almost like new and works great. Here is another one. After four months in the local ham radio club Tuesday night I was just voted in as the new vice president for next year. I will also be building them a forum for the club very soon. ....MATT....

PS> My high powered 10 meter rig should be up and running on the base before the weekend is out.

It's not always easy getting a good deal on ham equipment. Thats great.

Well Mr. Vice-President - Congratulations!

Wow, congrats on the vote, and the deal!

Thanks guys... I am looking at a used 440 Kenwood HF rig for my next addition. I used to work my fathers old 430 Kenwood in the 80s but the cool thing about the 440 is that it has a built in antenna tuner. I am in the process of building a rack type addition to my desk so I can set everything up (like the old days..love it) and have a area behind it for QSL cards and a mapping area to the right. antenna switch box, swr/watt meter, 35 amp H/D power supply, my different rigs and so on as a beginning for now is the plan. Any ideas or suggestions ??? Comments and ideas are welcome.

Congrats, Matt! Maybe you can get them to change the meeting to another day of the week. The Tuesday meetings have been falling on the same night as the Apple Valley city council meetings.

When does your term start? Who was voted president?
