Marty,
We never DID get together for that lunch - we should sched a contact on the 147.00 repeater ( minus shift, 136.5 PL - WB2ZSE - main NYC ARES box)
And only ONE HT? I've trained my office mates to ignore my WAY over sized backpack, and the stuff in the office drawers - I have 3 HTs in the backback on most days!! Icom T90A (It's OK - better as a scanner than an HT IMHO - but handy), and a pair of GE MRK commercial rigs - one for UHF, one for VHF - and that way I can swap batteries (plus there are a few GE rigs around at work, so I can "borrow" a charger)
