Expensive Friday

I found myself in Huntsville this past Friday, so I stopped by the Gigaparts store.  I’ve been wanting to add my Yaesu 2M (FT-8900) radio to my home setup, and didn’t want to wire the radio directly to my Radio Shack 25amp power supply.  So I picked up a RigRunner 4005H Complete Powerpole assembly.

I also bought a portable 6-Meter J-Pole antenna from KC0ZEO, to put into my go-bag that I keep in my truck:

Looks to be a nice little assembly.  This will give me an excuse to break out my 6M HT and use it.  I’ll let you know how it tests out.

I also ordered a J-Pole antenna, from KB9VBR, to mount in my attic.

Now I just need to start putting everything together.  Easier said than done.  🙂
