Re: was TX ERR, now FT-817, FT-991A, and MOTA

But Mike, I said I need my FT-817 and FT-991A in my roving search for melon patches, using a 2m repeater on a 500ft tower that has 80-90 mile radius of coverage.. ?(real plan using my van-sized RV!).
Surely the seed company will know whether export is OK. ?Last year's winner in the giant melon-growing contest was 156lb! A "normal" 60 pounder would not be good for an FT-817..

Only problem I see is the possibility of importing a non-indigenous species that has unintended consequences.? And perhaps a serious discussion with the customs and agriculture folks.? Checking beforehand might save a lot of trouble.? Kinda like the Salt Cedar tree?
Before the band police jump on this, let’s tie it to the FT-817.? If you drop a 20-pound melon on your 817, ?it will probably dent it badly.? Something that started with Sir Isaac Newton and an apple, but it applies to melons too. ? Mike – KD5KC -- El Paso -- Texas. ?
