Since I live in a Condo:

·         Practically speaking, 6 meters is low band for me!

·         Packed away I have the following :

o   Kenwood TS-440S – HF All Mode Radio

·         I’ve had this since ~1989

·         When I get into a house again, this will be my main HF radio

o   NCG 7/21/15 – triband SSB & CW radio

·         There are only ~200 in the US

·         When I get into a house again, this will be my dedicated 40 meter NVIS radio
