Hi folks,
 I've got a question. I have been contesting (when I can) with my FT-980. I was 
thinking of trading my 980 gear for an Icom IC-706 with Samlex PS so I can add 
6 meters to my contesting. Is this a bad move? My 980 has great sounding 
receive and gives me virtually no listening fatigue. Is the receiver 
performance superior on the 706 or 980? Another bonus is the 706 is more 
portable for camping, Field Day, etc... but the 980 has is big and beautiful 
and looks like a contester's rig....
 Any suggestions? I am not interested in any other radios and have no extra 
cash (all my money is going into my antenna system upgrades)...
