I look after a couple of servers for a friend who I met earlier this year, as a token of thanks for helping out a new Yaesu 857D arrived today. Thanks Michael 🙂

Unfortunately as we drove up the street tonight the power went out 🙁 So I opened the box and had a look as much as I good via candle light, looks like a nice bit of gear.

Spent the rest of the night sitting in the backyard listening to the fires on KI using the scanner I bought a month or so back. Sounds like it might be a pretty horrible situation, lots of extra fire crews and other emergency services crews are on the way over.
