[Yaesu] FT-817

[web.de]

Thanks a lot, Mike!

I had in mind the FT-847 which is open to 4m in the UK version, so perhaps Yaesu had the same mindset in issuing another versions for the 4m-open countries.

So hope to hear you again next year in SOTA or before on HF.

Best wishes from lovely Coblence at rivers Rhine and Mosel!

73! Christian
