Your IC-706 is looking good. That rig is a workhorse.

@N0ZB Yeah, they're not too bad. My vintage rigs have better sensitivity than the IC-706s (and IC-7000), but if you want a 100W radio you can stuff in a box or in a car, they work great, and are pretty easy to find at an affordable price (that one for $250).

Antenna is a street sign supporting an end fed wire, 5 feet off the ground. #hamradio #antenna

@ai6yr No shiny radio umbrella today?

ai6yr, 5 months ago

@mjausson LOL nope.... Need to go unravel that from the pile-o-radio-gear I pulled out of the house...

@ai6yr Good luck getting everything stashed somewhere dry before the rain hits you!

@mjausson Yep, everything is stashed and put away, that was my main chore on Saturday.
