[CQ-Contest] Contester's Rig Survey Now Complete

[AC6V]

AC6V reply --- no where in the survey was the implication that the results were
recommendations for the best - only what contesters were using and what their
opinions are for the dream transceiver.
Perhaps someone would be willing to do in-depth analysis of the actual
performance of the available rigs????
