Hi,

In addition to Madison's broadcast I HAVE ONE FREE "RIG TALK" available for anyone who wants it.

I just need to find it in my closet......

It's a good thing I was not standing by the door while waiting for a response to my earlier post, because I would have been flattened by everyone crashing in. I know better than to ask you guys to dinner, but I learned that when I joined NARS about 30 years ago . . .

I guess y'all know a good deal when you see it. Doug W9LCQ was first in, taking less than 9 minutes to respond and claimed the Rig Talk and the amp key line. [Doug, you owe me $10 via PP to this email.] Marty W5MF was a very close second and he gets the generic rig talk. [Marty, see above remark to Doug.] Keith NM5G, you must have been taking a nap, because Marty beat you out by a whole minute. 

Anyhoo, tnx fer the bandwidth. CU in the pileups, and for you lucky winners, watch your mailbox.

If you DON'T own a Yaesu FT857 (pretty common), FT897 (not very common) or FT100 (hoo, boy, they are really rare anymore since they are 20+ yrs old but probably a few around still), you can quit reading now. If you DO own one of these, this is for you!

I have two, count 'em two, CAT control devices available for $10 each, shipped to the 50 US states for free. One is a West Mountain Radio Rig Talk, the other is a generic Rig Talk. Both fit in a USB port of your computer. West Mountain Radio still manufactures these things. If you aren't familiar with CAT control, it is a way to use your computer to direct your transceiver with a program like N1MM (which is free) and is helpful in going to new frequencies which you type on your keyboard.

I also have for free an amplifier key line for those Yaesu devices. I used to own an FT100 and several different FT857s but now I don't have them anymore. If you have such transceivers, you can't beat the price for these devices. They are really handy.

AND if no one wants them within a week or two, off they go to the recycle bin, so don't wait.
