[Heathkit] SB-200 6m Mod

[Rick Brashear]

Hey Scott...

Maybe you could cobble up a 6 meter amplifier in a separate box and steal
the power from the SB-200 when needed.  Just a thought...

There sure isn't an abundance of them around here, this is the first used 
one for a price I can afford that I have seen in years.  Oh well, it was a 
thought.  I will just keep it on HF and forget about 6m use for now.

73,

Scott
