[Yaesu] Best $600 contest rig

[Jack/NA7RF]

Oh, BTW, thanks for the link to the Sherwood site...it's been a long

I see the rigs are listed in decreasing order of narrow Dynamic Range, 
so you can run down the list far enough to find one that meets your 
price requirements and stop there...simple, eh? ;>)
