[SixClub] New Rigs

[Larry Brown]

John I lucked into a TS-60 a couple of years ago in a trade. It sat under the dash in my truck used only sporadically on FM for two years,then about this time last year I pulled it out and set it up in the house. Man what a great radio! It's one I hope to never trade! The day I do I'll be hungry,cold and homeless! The TS-60 is one mighty fine radio!
