Hello all,
My first post here... I am in classes now and will take the Technician license test within a few weeks but for now I am getting prepared.
I bought a Yaesu FT-991 with an ATAS 120a antenna for my 2500 HD pickup. I am having a bracket made to fit my specifications from a custom weld shop right now and it should be done in a few hours for pick-up.
Then next week I will have all the fat coaxial cables ran to the antenna and have the power/ground cables ran as well by an installer here in the DFW area.
I have already grounded all four corners of the bed and both sides of the cab with heavy duty 1' grounding straps so I should be ready for the final connections to be made before the end of the week next week so I can start tuning around and listening until I get my license.
I can't wait to get my call sign and start making contacts and just tuning around to see what's out there.
for now... David
