Interesting non-announcements from #Icom. The new a ID-5200 will come in 2 models - 20 watt and 50 watt. They also say they have no date of shipping as it’s awaiting FCC approval in the USA. The brochure in Japanese is online here: https://t.co/LpMNsGvO7C. #amateurradio #hamradio

@SEN_Football hero, where’s the live broadcast of KOR v CZE. I can’t find it on the app or online. You said you had every game live.

[VK2AWN @VK2AWN]

@IcomAmericaInc How much and when?

[VK2AWN @VK2AWN]

Here’s an excellent new video from @thecommschannel on setting up your #MeshCore nodes and repeaters

I thought today's #POTA spot wasn't going to be successful. It was! I've also updated my original post with some photos. Post: https://t.co/uBpuMBDK9G #parksontheair #amateurradio #hamradio
