@mm9sql @F5VMJ Dial or digital?

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@WD9EWK I got three emails from him today. I am just going to ignore them going forward.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@WD9EWK We get them all over the Chicago area. They can be very mean and nasty.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@KH6WI_Ham_Radio @Gregbadilla I second that. Excellent combination when I operated from VP5 last year. I operated many times from the beach and the radio stood up well in the heat and humidity.

@MikeN8MR @ZF2AE @WD9EWK No Satellite this year from ZF. Sorry. I decided to take a pause on this trip. VP5 was too much last year. Lots of lids unfortunately.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@MikeN8MR @ZF2AE @WD9EWK Hi! I Am setting up villa antenna this morning on ZF8. I'll do POTA maybe Monday, Tue/wed for sure. SSB is my mode. If bands stink then FT8 or FT4. I need to rent a car. I am diving AM Mon/Tues. Heading to ZF on 7/03. I'll give notice once I am ready.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@flo_0_ @ZF2AE I decided not this year after busy VP5 trip last year. IO-117 was crazy busy. I will do casual HF and my first POTA instead this year.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

Heading to the Cayman Islands. I will be on Little Cayman through July 3rd. There are new sites on LC and I hope to activate my first Pota from there. From 7/3 to 7/11 I'll be on Grand Cayman and hope to activate a few parks. This is a holiday Follow me on X @AA5UK and @ZF2AE.

@KH6WI_Ham_Radio Last year from VP5, it was pretty spot on with the CSN Sat box. Best spot on AO-7 is around: 145.938 +/-. Have fun!

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@ve3hls I have the standard and the Alaskan version. They are well made and very light. Ken does a fantastic job making these. Give him a shout to get your customized Arrow!

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@KH6WI_Ham_Radio Ken @ve3hls does a great job.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@ve3hls Get well soon. Take good care and speedy recovery!

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@ve3hls Had few fun with the new CNC. Do take care of your foot.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@ve3hls 👍

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@ve3hls Probably a typo and the supplier dumped it cheap. Same with sport apparel. Not knowing which team will win in the finals, for example hats are made for both teams and the losing team hats get dumped in Asia for cheap.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@W8LR_Jerry @flo_0_ @FG8OJ Thank you Jerry. This is my 5th "rodeo" so to say. The job market is pretty brutal right now. Have to keep strong and hope for the best.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@flo_0_ @FG8OJ No not VP5, it due was a corporate takeover by a Venture Capitalist company, over 100+ including me lost our jobs.

[Adrian Engele @AA5UK]

@flo_0_ @FG8OJ Still early planning stage but I may be going back to ZF and ZF8 (Little Cayman) in 2025. Too bad no IO-117 😡 but maybe FK09... from ZF8. Much will depend on my work situation since I lost my job right after VP5 trip.
