[Icom] Heil HMi or Icom SM-20?

Dear Adam,

Many thanks for your remarks!

The Goldline Pro (or Presentation Goldline) with FullRange element perhaps
is a very good option too. I read that this FullRange element is quite
similar to the HC-5 element. I like the look of the Goldline. Nice birthday
present in september, when I hope to reach my 50th anniversary...

Good to read that I don't have to worry about the output for the 756ProII
and 7400.

Looking forward to hook a Heil to my rigs!

73, Hans Remeeus.
