Got my new toy...

The Baofeng UV-5RA dual band (2M/70cM) HT came in the mail today. For $40, I cannot complain. It does a pretty good job of hitting all the local repeaters, and I am sure that if I build myself a dual band copper J-Pole, that even without an amp, I can hit more distant repeaters with it up 35 feet off the deck.
