[Gonset] WTB: COMM-4 / 220MC VERSION, G-28, G-50

[Emil Dular via Gonset]

I have a good working G-50. I have tried listening for an AM signal but to 
no avail.  The only thing I have ever heard on it is neighbor's baby 
monitor. There is no local 6 meter activity, in any mode.  I'd be game to 
come up if there was a chance for an AM QSO.
