They are a target too.

I have some. And a number of much larger radio’s. My latest additions just arrived via UPS, yesterday.

I was on 40 meters this morning with the new rig and listening to JK1BQS in Japan.

Last night there was a monthly CQ contest and 20 meters was full of that. I was adjusting to a new rig with a makeshift antenna. Am very pleased with my purchase. It is an Icom radio, bought it used but it is almost as good as my old Collins S-line. (which I have loved to operate since the early 1980’s) There is a presence in a good vacuum tube receiver that you don’t get with any solid state computer driven receiver.

I’m trying to decide between an Icom 705 or a KX2. The KX2 is backordered 2 or 3 months.
