On the air

I just set up a new radio: an Icom IC-706 Mk II-G. This is a huge improvement over my previous station, which consisted of a single Alinco handie-talkie. The new radio covers VHF, UHF, and HF, so I can use it for ARES traffic and for long-distance communications (once I get an antenna set up, anyway). I still have to mount the control unit to my desk and set up a better speaker; eventually I want to hook the rig to my computer and start running MacLogger with it.
