Hello HAM operators,
There is a great local resource for all things HAM radio right here in ABQ, specialty-home. This place is down the street from my work so I poked in there one day and met the president, Paul Choc. Paul just happens to be the "father of Megalink" NM5ML. Dan S. and I met Paul at Elk Mountain repeater site last year on a camping trip.
Anyway, Lynn and I popped in there today and one of their techs came out and helped Lynn with an antenna, mount and tuning. They sell single and dual band antennas, mounts, coax and only Kenwood commercial radios (can be used as HAM radios too). I bought a single band whip antenna, similar to the LM150B larsen antenna for about $30. Talking to Paul, it sounds like he is moving from the Kenwood HAM radios to Yaesu 8800 radios for his personal use.
Anyway, just passing on the info.
