[Icom] Icom 505 question

Tue, 28 May 2002 18:53:40 -0600

Hi,
I once read a magazine article about a guy who used that radio on 
portable upon the Eifel tower in Paris doing QSO with Stateside.
6 meter is fun band when it is open. Summer time Sporadic E propagation
is something to experience.(Es)
Have fun and some times when TV set acts funny(not on cable), time to
try 6.
73,
