I took it down while the knot workshop is being filmed. The whitenoise
was getting in the way.

It's still here on my shelf, so we can toss the wire back up pretty
quickly.

Of course, this is highly depending on how much you want to spend. I
like the FT-817 for a QRP, battery-powered rig for many modes.

FT-897D is nice, more expensive, but more of a QRO rig.

Elecraft makes good products on the kit front. Relatively inexpensive,
and DIY to boot.
