[VHFcontesting] Yaesu FT100D problem on 6m

[gmitch at iowatelecom.net]

I had 2 of the "D" models that also did this as well as 3 of the pre "D" 
models. I do
believe the "D" models I had (still have one) were the early models as well.
I also had a FT-897 that did this as well.

I think some early D models had this problem as well.  I purchased my
FT-100D in 2000 and had the high SWR problem on 6 and 10.  A warranty
trip to Yaesu fixed it with the additional grounding.
