[SixClub] New Rigs

[John Geiger]

During a good Es opening you can get some crushing signals that will block 
out weaker stations.  A few years ago I had both a Kenwood TS60 and a Yaesu 
FT100D.  When another local station got on I couldn't work another station 
on the FT100D unless I was 10khz or more away from the local.  On the TS60 I 
could get within 4khz of a local and work someone else.
