[1000mp] New Radio

[Stephen Hawkins]

Gang,

In the first 5 minutes of my operation in the ARRL CW contest my trusty old 
TS-950S died.  Yesterday I took delivery of a new Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V 
Field.  I will probably get the 950 fixed and sell it.

Big Change.  I do check into the occasional phone net, but I spend most of my 
operating chasing DX.  Mostly on CW but some phone also.  I will be getting 
into the ARRL SSB contest this weekend.

This radio has a lot more configuration options then the 950.  I currently 
have a 500HZ collins mechcanical CW filter on the main vfo.  Other then that 
the radio is just as it came.  I am open to, and welcome, any and all 
configuration, option, accessory, and filter suggestons, and advice.   

Thanks,
Steve NG0G
