My new Yaesu FT-991A HF/VHF/UHF All Mode Transceiver arrived today

I've really struggled to get the bits and pieces together but finally today I got the UHF connectors for the coax and the radio itself arrived too. Took a good hour plus to get the connectors all soldered on and connect the wires to the 30Amp DC power supply and finally I got to switch it on. It all powered up OK but I was initially not receiving anything with the balun connected between the radio and the HF antenna (a G5RV Junior antenna for my roof). So I removed the balun and it seems to be receiving fine now (I can't transmit until I get my license in May 2019 so it's not too serious right now and I can spend time diagnosing the antenna - may be a bad solder joint).

For now it's going to be listening and getting used to tuning the radio. I need to mount the antenna in the roof this coming weekend, and still get a VHF/UHF antenna. The aim is to next year start DX'ing far afield. The radio will output 100W on HF but I can see why so much time gets spent discussing and diagnosing antennas... the radio itself is the easy part but the antenna type, position, height, tuning, etc is the real science.

Apart of the response to Paradise, California Fire. American Red Cross DR 769-19 Camp Fire. I have been working with our DST team here. My job included being apart of what I call a DST Disaster Services Technology Road Team in which we did computer problem solving and printer issues and setting up our equipment at our American Red Cross shelters such as the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, California. And equipment recovery and accountability at out Shelter at the Butte County Fairgrounds in Gridley, CA and it Oroville Church of the Nazarene in Oroville, CA. And suppling our American Red Cross FAC Family Assistance Center in a former Walgreens with a computer and printer. I would not have been able to deploy if a local animal hospital didn't offer to provided me with boarding for my dog for the two weeks. And also the support from the local animal shelter in which I volunteer at for my aging dog in which is like comfort therapy dog to me. Sometimes it takes volunteers to watch volunteers pets so they can be able to deploy and help out others.
