[50mhz] ready to get my feet wet

[Buzz, KB1EPQ]

Hello to all!  Participated in the VHF contest last week-end on 2m SSB.
This was my first time playing with anything except FM.  I am now hooked
with VHF operations.  The next logical step is to add 6 meter equipment to
my shack.  I'm leaning toward the Alinco DX-70T that Radio Shack is selling
for $599.  I currently have only a Tech license so the HF portion of the
radio would not be used right now.  Do any of you folks use this radio?  I
have never been on 6m at all.  Is the 10W that this rig puts out on 6m ssb
enough to have any fun with?  I'm located in FN34 and at least for the time
being would have very small antenna set-up.  Any help/advice/leads on used
equipment would be most appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
