Just received a nicely used ic-735. also...a .5 KW HF linear amp. I now need to obtain a 80 amp power supply, and install a bigger alternator in my car! I just wrote my advanced ticket, with pass...so only a matter of time before i can fire this baby up. I'm looking forward to HF mobile, mountain topping for the most part.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too!

Just bought (dead at a ham meet for 5$!) a 20 amp power supply (dead rectifier)...has a nice HAMMOND transformer, and HUGE cap, and a half dozen MOTO regulators! Works great now, and perfect for running my 735.

Or, be epic like me and have Basic, Advanced AND Morse Code. That not only lets me operate HF, it lets me touch myself too.
Ya...I went and wrote my advanced as well...90%! I too am now touching myself, sans the dots and dashes.
