I didnt see you anywhere when I was lugging that 32V2 last fall Todd (-;. 
You were too busy guarding that HT-20.

I dread the day when I cant lift anything heavier than a DX-60 but so far I 
can keep somewhat in shape with the weights. Your dad only has 2 years on 
me.

No Meissner 150 here but I do have the matching VFO with coils. I use that 
on 30M with the FB-XA a lot.

Its too hot for any more yard work, time to hit the basement and dig into 
the customer backlog.
