Subj : First HF rig recommendati To : debian From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Jul 31 2022 07:49 pm Debian, de> I understand that I can operate some HF freqs with just my Tech de> license, but I would like to upgrade ;) The Icom IC-718 advertised itself as a "get your feet in HF rig". It covered most of the HF bands, but I don't know if it's still being made. I used it the last time I operated HF 14 years ago...20 meters railroad mobile. A link to a video on YouTube is in my bio off of the hyperlink on my bio on QRZ. Also there, are links to Excel Spreadsheets of selected D-Star, Echolink, and D-Rats Nets, in Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time, with PDF files related to ham radio. In the spreadsheets are at least 200 nets every month...and as far as I know, that list is up to date. I also have a PDF file at that hyperlink of where you can find other mode net listing URLs.
