Well, I had a 3 day round of chemotherapy for a small cell cancer and it seems to be helping.  Pain level is down and no complications.  But I'm usually tired and not much energy to get some ham radio gear working properly.  Namely:
2 FT 857's that I have not been using on UHF/VHF that I would like to bring up to speed.  Not getting the proper menu items correct somehow. Is there a Yaesu user that can help me get these two radios up on the repeaters.  They are the ones I power with my solar/battery and would be nice for hurricane use.
2 antenna mounts installed on my campervan.  I broke the UHF/VHF mount that I use for mobile/APRS stuff.  Tried to steal my HF mount from the back door but never got around to getting it installed.  I have a new mount for the front hood or door for my repeater radio.  And would like some help putting the old HF mount back on the back door. Then rewiring the antenna back to the radio and hooking up the mike and control head.
None of this is a rush. But, if you have some time to spare and want to come hang with me a bit and help with some light labor, I would appreciate it.  No antenna work will be done in the rain. That can wait.  I'll drag out the radio manuals and maybe you can help me go through step by step to get the 857's talking.

Thanks in advance.  Call me at 443-440-1736.  I'll be guy wearing the mask for the next several months.
