So i did it.. Made a deal on the FT-1000..

Hey all.

So today i purchased my self the Yaesu FT-1000.
Wow its a great radio. I'm already in love with it. :-)

Along in the deal i also got a Heil HC4 Headset and a Yeasu MD-100 Mic.

Testing a FT-1000....

Sooo whats up, well the weather is not for antenna work.
So now im testing a Yaesu FT-1000 i maybe want to buy...

Its a old and heavy machine, and takes alot of space on the table, but its a beutiful and realy fine radio... 200W from the radio, pff.. Love it...

But got one problem, need some propagation to test it on.. ;)
Point your antennas to the north freinds.. :))

73's....

Soo now the antenna and mast's are in the air..

.. but the job is'nt finished yet..

It was a bit harder than exspected to do.. And the weight was surely higher than i ever thinked of.. Goosh it was hard to raise...

Some small things are still to be done witch is, the baduns and some small adjusting of the gamma before we can raise it to the full hight..

But the antenna is in the air and plugged in to the radio..

Big thanks to Mr Jonel 47IR047 for help all day..
Carsten 47DX132 did'nt make the trip.. He was to busy fixing something at his own QTH.. Mayby next time Carsten.. ;)

Se you on the air...
