[SixClub] High end 6 meter rigs (was: New to Six Meters)

[John Geiger]

And those rigs get really good reviews on eham.net. 
Like the internal PS idea.  I have an Icom 756 (the
replacement for the 736) and have really liked it on 6
meters during the couple of openings we have had hear.
 I got it in October, so havent had many openings to
play around with yet.
