[K3PZN-List] Collins Rx

[Bill Mellema]

  Andy

I have to admit my ears perked up when I saw your posting of the 
S36A...but as Curt says I am in a weakened state to purchase more gear 
but I should be recovered by the time our hamfest rolls around in 
October :)   ...

The HQ110 that "followed me home" is working FB after I aligned 
it...double conversion at that...

Have a good weekend guys..
