[DX] FT100 and dxing

Fri, 10 May 2002 10:04:14 -0700 (PDT)

Hi John,

I have an Icom 706MKIIG which I have had on the air
since last November.  I've worked over 60 countries
with it so far and it performs well.  I run it through
an LDG auto tuner into a Carolina Windom antenna which
I have mounted as an inverted V with the peak at 45
feet.  I have an optional SSB filter (1.9 Mhz)in it
but don't use it often.  I use it only for SSB and
have nopt run any CW.  I am very pleased with the
performance for the money spent.

Hope this helps.
