Personally, I'll be working on Skeeter Hunt certificates from last Summer and maybe I can get on the air and work a few POTA stations.

Looking at the KX, KH, AX io group this morning, I'm still seeing people posting about what they'd like to see in a KX4, and how they'd be willing to plunk down money today, if they could get the features they want.. I've got to get in touch with some of these guys and ask if they'd consider adopting me. They seem to be of the sort where money is no object when it comes to rigs. Maybe I can get adopted and get a huge allowance. For me, deciding to buy the QMX at under two bills was quite the financial decision!

Enjoy your weekend!
