satyan sarath here from chennai - india. expecting my hf ticket soon. i am a yaesu fan and currently have a vx5r for vhf and an ft-101e for hf. i especially like the ft-101e, which must be more than 25 years but still puts out a solid 100+ watts in 40, 20 and 15 mtrs, where i listen most. i have put up a centre fed sloper and this antenna gives me very good results. my senior, vu2vmz could contact many russian, italian and LZ stations yesterday with very good signal reports. this txcvr, though old was not used extensively in the past and i am sure it is going to last another 20 years more.

thanks everybody, especially to the admin team for permittign me in and 73s from india.
