[Heathkit] Sixer mod - whar is it?

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hey Pete,

Don't you remember OM? All sorts of things were "floating" during the 
sixties and seventies. Suspended speakers or was it air suspension? Floating 
grounds, not the electronic type, but the islands sold to people off the 
coast of Florida and southern California that were 'migratory'! A Whale of a 
way to waste money ...
