[K3PZN-List] Collins Rx

[Andy Leeds]

Its not in perfect shape, some scratches on the front and it looks like 
something may have been mounted to the top case with a few screws a long 
time ago. It lights up and powers on but that is the extent of my 
checkout... I stopped when European Field Day kicked off... 20M is full 
of them from one end to the other right now and that happens to be the 
path my beam is stuck on...

There's some Asian event as well I see a bunch of spots for Asia but I 
can't hear any of them with the beam N -> E.
