[Swan] 250C

[Greg]

OK

Sing out if you need more input or whatever.  The 250C will be a useable rig 
on 6 when you are done but I would go with a beam antenna and perhaps a 
small preamp for the receiver like the MAR series of monoblock amps.
Have fun, I just finished up and old Eldico SSB 100F and put a SB 401 on the 
bench tonight for PS re-capping.
