[ICOM] Backup ICOM Radio

[EP Swynar]

Hi Dick,

They tell me that the Icom 751A is probably one of THE all-time best rigs of
its --- or any other --- era, by a good margin. I have one here that I
bought brand new some 19 years ago, or so, and I absolutely love it...

One of the VERY good things about it to-day, too, is the fact that you can
probably pick up a good used one for about a THIRD of your available pin
money...THAT'S a nice bonus, for sure...! Hi Hi
