[SixClub] Thanks to the group and my future plans

[larry fields,n6hpx/du1 manila]

   So Far I am using just RG8 and I got that from
Guam, been thinking of going to RG213 for the 6m stuff
my friend Eddie used the 9913 for 2m ssb but it was
years ago. Cost about 100 peso per meter then. 
   He does alot of 6 and so far mentioned to our group
has over 79 countries confirmed.
