As I said before, HF is down the road, but I am actively saving so I will
get there.  When I do I'll be putting up a dipole and will probably focus
on 20m.  While I will be doing voice I don't think I'll be a contester.
I'm also interested in digital modes as I have been receiving them with an
Icom R71 for a few years now.  Mostly PSK31 and some RTTY.  Probably get a
Funcube SDR too.

On 2m I have the new Yaesu FT1DR.  I chose that for its built in GPS and
APRS.  Been playing around with that.

In the meantime I belong to a local club and will get on HF there when I can.
