[Yaesu] Best $600 contest rig

[Glen Zook]

Although "boat anchors", the Heath SB-101 for
transceiver and the "twins" (SB-401 transmitter and
the SB-301 receiver) are even better.  They cover the
main contest bands (80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters) and
the "twins" can operate in transceive mode for SSB and
"split" for CW and SSB DX on 80 and 40 meters.

The tube type receiver is, for all practical purposes,
immune from overload and the transmitter is MUCH
cleaner in terms of things like broad band noise than
any solid-state equipment.

am looking to write on equipment.  In your opinion,
what is the best contesting rig for $600 or less? 
This would be for both CW and SSB contesting.
