Been a HAM for about 12 years now....KT4AL....Advanced.
Not into it much anymore but was a "big gun" on 2mtrs up to 1296.
After a hurricane blew down my antenna farm I haven't had the heart to do all that work again.
Still have a load of Hard Line and what not rolled into the corner of the house incase I want to do it all again.

KC0ERE I travel for work so I don't get on the air as much as I'd like. I also need to get my Icom set up in my Econoline. I bought it in 2008 and still don't have it done.

I've been a Ham since 1991. My callsign is K3YYZ (vanity call). My old call was N3LKT. I collect surplus military radio gear and don't do much operating HF or otherwise. In 1999 I wanted to put my radio gear (RT-524A, R-442A) in a vehicle so I bought my first military vehicle, a 1986 CUCV Blazer. Then in 2001 bought a 1987 HMMWV M998. I put radios in it as well, and converted it to a M1026 slantback weapons carrier with winch and dummy M2. About 2 years ago I upgraded the radio in it to a SINCGARS RT-1439 with the AM-7239 amp. I have since sold both vehicles and most of the radios and bought my Barstow M151A2.

I have a PRC-77/AM-2060 combo to put inthe MUTT but I can't bring myself to drill holes in it yet. I may leave it as it came, don't know yet.
1979 AM General M151A2 "Barstow"

1986 Chevy M1009 CUCV Blazer (Sold 2006)

I like it so much that I sold my IC735 & 737 & got another one for the base here

they have very nice audio given the heil mic elements they use

I really have nothing bad I can say about them

I forgot to add mine to the list - KD8QEQ. I have a prc-77 in my MUTT and it's fun to play with. I don't have a home station as of yet, but would like to one of these days!
