[PPRAANet] Wire between the body and head of FT-857d

[N0MUD at aol.com]

Hi folks, I have misplaced that wire that goes between the body of the  
radio and the control head of FT-857d.  If there is someone out there in  ham 
radio  land that has mounted their FT-857 or even the FT-100d in their  
vehicle and used the extension kit then you had to remove that wire.  If  someone 
out there still has theirs I am willing to buy it from you.
 
Thanks and I also want to say thanks to Dan Scott, Les Borst,  Kc0nc and 
his son JIm, Galen Steele, AG0A and of course it goes  without saying the best 
tower climber in the state, Steve Sawyer, KT0DX,.   All these hams came 
over to my place this last Saturday morning, it was still a  bit cool, but I 
had coffee and donuts, Dick W0raa you missed out of your donuts  with the 
sprinkly things but they went fast.  Anyways the only thing that  got in the way 
was the apple tree both when bringing the A-3s beam down and then  putting 
it back up but we managed.  While the antenna was down we had  to do some 
extra repairs, tighten screws, even had to put a piece of pvc pipe in  the end 
of the boom where the deflector went and then everything in place the  rope 
handlers did their job and back up to the top it went.  I wanted to  remove 
two sections of tower to make it a 40 foot but Steve said that's a summer  
project so I never argue with my tower climber.  I just hope his hands are  
still good this summer. Les's son Jim and Dan Scott did most of the work 
with  the ropes. Galen and Les also helped with ropes and taking the gin pole 
up to  the top.... Only damage was my ego when I started to walk over the 
beam on  the ground and it shifted and I took a nose dive to the ground.  Oh  
well.... I took pictures hope to get to Mike Anderson, WV7T to put in the  
Dits and Bits or main page of the Zero beat.....
 
A hearty thanks to all the hams that came.
