Hi Paul - not really - the Omni sale helps offset the Orion purchase (or
the water heater replacement that was needed when I returned from Dayton
- argh!). I'm figuring I might be able to sell the IC-275H plus power
supply and mast preamp for around what the 6n2 costs. So, I might break
even but gain an extra band. (1 have a 2m brick, so the power won't be a
problem.)
73, Duane
