I spent the weekend tormenting bull snakes and riding the Rokon at Two Moon campground over the past weekend. It’s a very pretty place, with a cliff just to the west that overlooks the reservoir. I’d like to camp there this weekend, but it’ll likely be packed (Memorial Day weekend) and I have a package coming in- a used Yaesu FT 857D.  It appears to me that Yaesu’s announcement of the FT 891 has people dumping their old radios, because I saw seven or eight 857D’s for sale on qth.com. I emailed two people, and got two phone calls within 10 minutes- the second call while I was on the phone with the first. Figures.

So, I have a radio coming. Now for antenna, tuner, coax…

Bother.
