My mic's for the 706, depending on his radio it might not work.
I will be meeting Dave in person over the summer though as we will both be going to field day up in Nashua, NH
Maybe then... http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

You should visit a university club. We don't drink beer while we operate, we operate while we drink beer.....

a few beers in the weekend shouldn't be a problem http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif.
Drugs, that's something else.
In the Netherlands it's legal to smoke mariuana, but thst isn't really a good law. It's like guns in the U.S., it's allowed, the people that have it want to keep it, but it isn't good for anything. Never used it and never will. Unhealthy garbage.
