Bob, from Rapid City, played his Galaxy V MK III, which he has had for
six reliable years. Nice signal and the rig sounded good also. Bob

brew amp using four 6HF5's. Nice signal Lynn. Lynn is going on an

Manson checked in with a Great sounding Swan 700CX. He also just
acquired another 700cx because he liked the first one so well. Manson
also has a NCX3 that he is soon putting on the air. I hear a lot of
nice comments about those NCX3's.
