[Yaesu] Wanted QST review on FT-1000 MK 5 Field

[John Geiger]

But at least the QST reviews do run the numbers on the rig.  Much better
than the CQ reviews which just restate everything in the advertising for the
radio.  Eham.net is ok, once you sift through the "this is the greatest
radio, I just worked Mexico on it" and "I have had it one day and it looks
great" reviews.
