Everyone,
David put out the initial email on my behalf. I soon after registered for some of the various Amsat mailing lists and followed along. Thank you all very much for your insight. I'm probably going to head off this Saturday to snatch the TH-F6A, my first handheld.
Cheers! Joseph Armbruster, KJ4JIO

Pedro,
What is that nice little 70cm antenna that you have mounted on your TH-F6? It looks like a square loop with a reflector, or something like that. Is it commercial, or did you make it? Any diagrams for construction?

I´ve used the F6 to work the SSB birds (including the AO-40) as a receiver from a mobile station:

I have a friend, Joe KJ4JIO, who is looking for his first HT to use for FM satellites. He is looking at the Kenwood TH-F6A and the Yaesu VX7R. Would anyone who has used these care to share some comments on them that I can share with him? I'm sure he would welcome comments about any other rigs you are fond of.
