Nick,
I looked at the Monte Bello campground on the Web and it looks like a great

Re: FYBO 2010
Something else we could consider is grabbing a couple car camping spots down

Merry Christmas Rhona,
Congratulations on purchasing the 817. It is by far, the most fun rig I have ever used. In short time, you will learn the radio and some simple antennas that work well. The 817

HF listening in NYC
I bought a Yaesu FT-817 from HRO in Sunnyvale just before I came to the East Coast. Mike Pechner was there and very kindly gathered up coax cables for me and told me about the LDG Z817 autotuner.
