[ICOM] 60m Operation.

[Mike Olbrisch]

Yes - I know.... I did it for you last year on the IC-781.  However, getting HIM
to do it might be a chore.  I would probably need to go over there and do it.
But that's not going to happen for a while - that's why I asked the group.

Perhaps someone with a 751A could try it and tell us both.

Thanks - Merry Christmas.
