Spotlight Mark-V FT-1000MP Field ... Day
Mark-V FT-1000MP Field ... Day What better way to break in a new Mark-V FT-1000MP "Field" than at FIELD Day? The new rig performed like a champ from a deep-cycle marine battery into a 20-meter dipole. The contacts were nonstop. Hardly ever had to use my MFJ-962C antenna tuner (note the addition of vernier tuning dials from Ocean State Electronics -- they REALLY make the MFJ a joy to use!). Yes, by the way, that is a HAM sandwich.
