   I haven't used mine yet either really.  Am going to spend $50 on a new base    
   for my Mosley RV-4C vertical (10-40 meters w/80 meter coil) and hopefully will    
   get back on the air.  I did the open-book ARRL VE "review" and mailed it into    
   them a couple of weeks ago and am waiting to hear back from them.  I figure    
   being a VE can't hurt anything and just something else to put a notch in my    
   ham radio belt with.   
      
   I am selling my Yaesu FT-450D due to finances but still have my IC-706MKII to    
   get on the air with.
