[ICOM] Icom Stuff

[W5JMW]

I apoligize..I believe this should have been sent to gary..But of intrest to 
all.I have been playing with a AT-120 and a 60 ft piece of wire.It tunes 6 
meters.Just made a contact on 6.Full output.It obviously is looking at the 
length and tuning for min swr.Since you can tune a 75 mtr dipole on 6.It is 
finding resonance..I did not think it would But does..73 all.john
