   I'm tired of having to turn my 2m beam around to listen for beacons,   
   tropo and aurora signals. The 2-stacked Big Wheel served me very well,   
   and is a joy to use, when the aurora strikes, because you don't have to   
   follow it across the sky, as you must do with a beam, to keep up with   
   the strength of it.   
      
   AS> Maybe you'll get it all back up in the air and ride some radiowaves

   Yeah, both of us, hi.
