FD 2009 -15m comes alive on a Buddipole Veritical Sunrise!
"Rooster if you just weren't so rough on gear we'd be in camp by now!"
"Yeah sure! At least I get a rest while you have to figure out how to repair my pack. Heh? I'm no dummy?"
"Tell me again WHY I've got these packs on my back?"
"Ok if I chew off this end, will it lower the SWR or raise it? ...trick question from Rooster?"
"Ok I'm supposed to monitor 6m but it's been kinda marginal? So it's much nicer napping here in the sun?" ...Rooster
"Hey Dave, Don't miss that Vermont station I think he sent 'copy 2E VT' ...man that's pretty cool on your 3-watts"
Ma Nature interrupts FD with a light show
Off on another 'man hike' where the goats do all the HEAVY lifting?" ...Peanut
