Reminding you to check out their new IC-705 all band portable transceiver. More on this later. And by QRP Labs, makers of the popular QCX kit transceiver. And a whole host of parts and kits for the ham radio builder. Both of those companies will be in the QSO Today virtual ham expo as exhibitors on the floor. Look for them.
