[SixClub] Anyone running a Heathkit Seneca VHF-1?

[Rob Flory]

You guys can drift as much as you want.  Our Navy TBS receiver is 200kc wide.  Good tropo this morning.  Hope to work some of you on 50.4 from N1EPL.  We are ready with 35W AM and a ground plane antenna.

Rob and Chris at USS Massachusetts (N1EPL)
