FT5D for sale

FT5DR acquired from a new ham who needed to sell. The FT5 is the top-of-the-line Yaesu Fusion-capable handheld. I bought everything so he could move on, at 10% off the retail prices and will resell for what I paid. Everything is in new condition. Some items could be sold separately.

A list of items with prices he paid is below:

Field Day 2022!

Field Day planning for the Lincoln County Amateur Radio Club has been rather ad hoc this year, with a major emergency exercise (Cascadia Rising) taking place less than two weeks prior. But, it’s happening!

Our location will be on NE Harney, across from the Lincoln County Commons (Fairgrounds), in the field north of the Animal Shelter. You can’t miss it.

Setup will be Friday afternoon, June 24. Field Day operations begin at 11:00 Saturday morning, June 25 and will continue into Sunday morning.

It’s meeting night!

In the midst of the Cascadia Rising 2022 exercise (and having had a series of special planning sessions on Zoom) I thought it prudent to note that we will be having our usual 2nd Tuesday Zoom meetings on the usual links tonight:

With so much to talk about, the Club will yield whatever time is needed to ACS for a debrief of the June 11 communications exercise and planning for the June 15 full scale exercise. The Club meeting will likely not start until the ACS meeting concludes. If you’re going to the Club meeting but not the ACS, either sit patiently in the waiting room (it could be a while, after all), or drop into the ACS meeting before it ends. The meetings are on different links.

The ACS meeting should be fairly short, with a report on sales at SeaPac, and we will check in on plans for Field Day.
