Hi
I've been playing with the idea for some time & have just bought myself a radio again after about 18 years off air!
(luckily have kept the licenses going!)
Getting long in the tooth and bored in the long evenings - so I thought that getting back into ham radio might be one way of keeping things going and have something interesting to do.
So, just bought myself an FT1000MP, made a dipole for 20m and strung it up - about a week ago.
That FT1000 is an amazing radio compared to my old IC735 (and earlier an FT902DM)
Some parts of the US seem to come in OK around late evening here (early eve in the US)
just wondering whether one could make a few contacts.
I'm in the Southeast of the UK and my dipole beams towards Central/North America (and the other way of course)
