Hi,
More than 12 years after my January 1998 QST article, I recently acquired a new Yaesu VX-3R mini-HT. While getting ready for Field Day, I thought I would try it out on AO-27. With the same MFJ 1717 dual-band whip that I used back then, the 2-watt VX-3R quickly worked three stations today: K6YK, WC7V and N5AFV.
Congratulations to them, and of course to the builders and command stations of AO-27, who've kept it going since 1993.
See you all on FD from our club station, WE7GV.
73,
