great job. the HF parts are great fun to be on...though the antennas are much more of a pain then VHF antennas are

Congratulations! Well, I've had mine for 30 years now...don't know how I ever lived without it.... Be sure to check out all the activity on the bottom of the bands...it's worth the "Big E" just to get that!

I have to say I completely agree. I've had mine for almost a month. It really helps with DXing! Good luck! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Same here... was worth every hour I put in for studying... my main motivation for getting it was to work CW DX on the low end of 40m.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You will enjoy extra bandwidth especially during the contests. Have had my extra for about 1+ years fun! Time to improve station there. 73 Paul/WQ2N
