[ICOM] IC-761

[Frank A. Ellis]

Hi Dick,

Thanks for the comment. I can't take credit for the
current www.classicicom.com web site, which is the
re-incarnation of my old www.icomclassic.com site (now
closed) and is the work of Adrian, EA5/G0KOM, who
contacted me with the idea of resurrecting the
original site in a new domain name. He has just gotten
it off the ground and is getting it built up with
features I never had before. It takes a lot of work
and he has a lot of energy!
