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.

73,
Sean
