Welcome John, your Shack looks Cool on QRZ'd , tell me about your Antennas and which you prefer .brands, and homebrews . i just got back into Ham Stuff from long Sabbatical ,(Ham as a Teen in 60s), hihi, so i am needing some opinions - what kind of terrain do you live , i live in a "Holler", and my OCF is just ok on 40m ,but need to make some improvements and look for more  efficiency  . I just have one rig at this time- a Tentec 556 Argo- brother of the Scout 555, only 5 watts , receiver is pretty good and low Batt. consumption. 73s and 2s, AJ W5HEH
