Hey Lou!

Whats up. great contact you made there. I havent made a contact like that yet.
Sounds like it was a good buy. I have talked to a guy in your area on sideband from havertown? or haverford? I could hear him but no signal strength. Maybe we can try that later. not sure what affect this weather will have on us making contact. he was AJ 20/20. A base station. looking forward to making contact with you.

It is pretty hard to top the older Grant XL/148 GTL. Its my favorite mobile radio.

Ive got a broken 1994 that wont power on any more. I've posted it on Craigslist but seems no one wants it. Maybe some day I'll learn how to fix it.
