[ICOM] Icom 706 on HF

[Max Harelik]

If you don't have an antenna tuner, you'll probably need one. That has 
been my experience with my 706 Mk2G and the G5RV. Otherwise, I have 
found the 706 to be adequate but not stellar in most types of use.

I will be using it mainly in the house with a decent high bands antenna, and a G5RV type antenna for the low bands.  Have a CW filter ordered already for it.  I will be using it mainly for DXing with some light contesting, and rag chewing.
