A reminder that the antenna for the HF side is optimized for NVIS out to ~300 miles, centered on Omaha, NE, USA. While I see connections from well beyond this range, most are very low rate. Often client stations are heard, but can't hear the RMS due to the antenna configuration.
ARDOP has been so inconsistent, I've dropped it as a mode on this RMS.
The HF transceiver has been swapped to an IC-718. I have noticed that it isn't as sensitive as the original Yaesu.
