Tonight I'm calling in a Ringer - Bob Plank from 73 Outdoors ( https://www.youtube.com/@BobPlank_KK4DIV ) is going to help us get on the air (or not) with this jank setup I've got going on here.

Today's radio is the Yaesu FT-90R. A 50w dual bander that is ready for a new beginning with a new ham... ME! Today's Station...
