As Always, There's An Adhesion Issue, But At Least I Have It Printing Again. I Started Over After Adding

The Yaesu FTM-150 is a 55w VHF (2 meter) / 50w UHF (70 cm) dual band, mobile radio that features a Super DX function that increases the rig's receiver sensitivity and improves weak signal (sounds like a built-in pre-amp). It has a data port in the back and an MicroSD card slot. Price? $380 +/- Run over to X and follow this guy if you haven't already.

Apparently my son's radio still thinks it's Christmas

It has me pinpointed

I was about to order a shelf so I could upgrade my station but remembered I had a kitchen rack I wasn't using. It'll do for now. The station is a work in progress.

It has been crazy tonight on 40 meters

... --- ... We've all heard the dits and dahs of the morse code signal for S.O.S. ... --- ... It's been used in every type of entertainment medium. It's also the name of steel wool cleaning pads. ... --- ... S.O.S. wasn't formally adopted by the International Telecommunications Union until around 1908, so did no one need help before then? Before the ITU adopted ... --- ... there was -.-. --.- -.., or CQD. Come Quick Danger was the common call for help prior to the S.O.S. ... --- ... The radio operator aboard the Titanic had sent out various calls for help over morse code with CQD DE MGY, MGY being the callsign of the ship, before alternating between CQD and S.O.S. ... --- ... Alot folks have thought the meaning of the S.O.S. is "save our ship," or "save our souls," but the letters have no real meaning. The meaning can be found in the simplistic and easily remembered dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit tones. The ITU believed that operators and listeners alike would better hear and understand the call for help. CQD lives on in amateur radio though. A general call of CQ can be heard over the airwaves for other stations to hear and respond. And now, ... --- ... you know ... --- ... the rest of the story, --. --- --- -.. -.. .- -.--!

Home brew 1/4 wave vertical 2 meter antenna. These are one of the easiest antennas to make yourself, and my very first home brewed antenna.

All done printing the faceplates!
