Brandon,
Thanks for the QSO, albeit weak on my part.  ;)
You had a good sig at a solid 57, QRN here was up but your audio was solid.

I need to get a little more umph out of the old Yaesu FT-401B.

I need to go through and do an alignment on the radio. When I got it, it came with the infamous "11 meter" crystals. I'm sure a "tech" did a bang up job of getting it to swing on the Chicken Band.  ::)

But, Dayton is this weekend so it'll have to wait!
