Am I one of them cool kids now? 

Great news Steve!!!   

Not sure about cool, but definitely crystal clear comms on the trail!

(well, yeah...the antennas look pretty cool)

Update II,   Got my HF rig a couple weeks ago, and finally put up a directional antenna in the back yard.  I aimed it at New York, but instead talked to New Zealand!!!  *Note to self: paint arrow on antenna.*
It was cooler than I thought it would be.... in a geeky kind of way.

Currently working on my general so I can use my new HF rig I set up in the house.

Hey AZX,
let me know when you go HF.  I'm putting up a new tri-band(10,15,20) in the back yard this weekend, would like to try it out

Will do, currently I have setup a 35 ft beam to string a wire across the backyard. Handles all bands cept for 160m I think. Hooked into a Yaesu-FT 897dHopefully I will get general in the next month or two.
