![]() ![]() I just wanted to check out the rig by getting to know the functions and controls much like I do when a new rig lands on my desk for evaluation and review. I brought the IC-756 Pro home, attached a power cord and antenna then put it on the air. In other words, I wasn’t accepting his only HF radio! Although it’s actually rather difficult for me to accept gifts like this, I did so knowing that Matt still has some of the coolest radios on the planet. Matt was in the process of moving and told me nothing would make him happier than the transceiver to go to a good home and be put on the air. ![]() Yep, Matt’s a very generous fellow and, trust me, one of the coolest radio guys you’ll ever meet. S79LC - Luca - A funny experience to partecipate at this contest from the Seychelles with my S79LC call (since 2011).Last year, my friend Matt gave me his Icom IC-756 Pro transceiver.
