Every individual piece of the Edgewood package came separately packed, so a bit of assembly was needed; installing the battery and the log tray, mostly … putting the pen and whip into their clips finished the job. There it is. A complete radio station that will fit in my back pocket!
I think I’ll want to set it up for no RF output and fiddle around with the paddle adjustments a bit before I try it out in the field. I’m glad that I printed up a few log sheets in advance. I somehow doubt that a single line per QSO will work for my messy and verbose logging style. Maybe I should pack a Rite-in-the-Rain notebook for all the extra details I like to include.
The weather looks pretty cold this weekend, with a chance of a few inches of snow tonight, but I’ll try to get outside for a while soon. Watch for a report!
And thank you for visiting driftlessqrp!
