  I'd love to work ya, but my home-built 6m j-pole bent over and broke in the tornado
here in Joplin last year. I got up a 4-el beam to work 6m SSB but I know it's not very good
on 52.525. I need to work on my j-pole. :-)

  And I have a TS-60 collecting dust (my main rig is a Ten-Tec 6 n 2 with amplifiers),
the only problem with the 60 is that the grain-of-wheat bulbs needs to be replaced...
do y'all know of anyone that would do that, or at least to point me in the right direction?
I can't find them in the service manual...
