[Yaesu] Wanted QST review on FT-1000 MK 5 Field

Sun Dec 25 07:38:37 EST 2005

Hi Sean,
The entire family here, too --- including Norman, the cat --- remains fast
asleep at 7:35 AM Christmas morning...
One point of interest: ever since Canadians (in their infinite wisdom!)
chose to break away from the League, & disbanded the CRRL in favour of the
amalgamated RAC, we can no longer hold FULL membership in the
ARRL...ASSOCIATE membership only. Oh, we still get QST & all, QSL bureau
services, etc., but no voting rights...at least as far as I know, anyway.
Merry Christmas, & my vy
~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ
