[BULK] - RE: [SixClub] Heathkit 6 met mod

[Richard M. Chadwick Esq.]

Hi Gang:.......Thank you all for the replys ,I didn't think it would be so
diff. to mod it for 6 meters. I figured a Het Xtal and a few new coils would
do the trick , hi hi.
Iam now looking out for a SB-110 or other makes of 6 meter rig,  which seems
the best way. Thanx agn
