At last weeks meeting of the SPARC Club they had a couple 2m radio, I picked up the Icom for use in my shack. Over the weekend was the yearly SPARCfest, where I picked up a 2m antenna. I put it up against my fence on some of the military camo poles I have left from Hamcation. I got on the SPARC net to try it out tonight and it worked great. Much better than trying to do it with the Baofeng HT.
Here’s what the grounding panel looks like now, room for 1 more antenna (I already have the lightning arrestor for it 🙂
