[CQ-Contest] Filters

[Kelley Shaddrick]

Thanks to everyone for all of the input on filters for my Icom 746.

The summary of all the emails, both to the list and private are as follows:

1. Get both filters. The PBT works better that way.

2. If I get one, get the 9 MHz filter.

3. Get InRad filters instead of Icom filters.

Thanks,

Kelley -- WØRK
