Hey #amateurradio, does anyone have a source for rack mount rails for a Yaesu FT-857? I'm trying to stack my FT-857 and LDG YT-10 tuner, so I can secure them in the truck. #hamradio

So, I've spent the last two days at a Kenworth dealership in Abilene, Texas. Early yesterday evening they finally figured out what the problem was, and hopefully mitigated it. Since I cannot leave until they open their gates this morning, I set up my 30 meter vertical antenna and made several contacts last night and this morning. I made contacts in 24 countries, and 15 states. Europe last night, and eastern Asia this morning. But, now it's time to take the antenna down, roll up the coax, and continue on down the road. #hamradio #amateurradio

Colleagues knew him as a steady presence, a trusted teammate, and a cop’s cop.
