I have had an FT60 for quite a few years. It's done an awful lot of special event and local hiking work. Clean, simple interface. They just work. Tim N9PUZ

Nice issue Keith! I took the first CWOps class last Fall and the second the first part of this year. Extremely worthwhile! Tim N9PUZ

Walter, or anyone in the know... About how often is the attendee list updated? Tim N9PUZ

I was able to try the 40M net tonight but heard nothing at all. Tim N9PUZ

In terms of battery technologies disregarding cost I'd rank them: 1. LiFePO4 (Bioenno, Dakota Lithium) 2. LiPo 3. NiCd 4. Sealed Lead Acid You can use this calculator to estimate your battery needs: <

Yes. They are at the bottom of every email sent by the list. April 3-4.
