[450] I just lost a 736R

[David Garcia]

I'd like 6 meters, was thinking about putting up a loop for the band when I
get it, my space is limited, the 706 sounds fine. I'll see when the time
comes, because I have to decide whether to get a 2M9SSB & might get a
complaint from the landlord that its to big or another 2m7 for stacking at
this point it looks like it'll have to be side by side or I won't have any
room for the 70cm beam. I'll see when the time comes. Certainly enjoying
the 736r got up early just to hear the 205 SSB morning group, heard a few
signals, that was nice to hear again, a pre-amp will certainly help things.
Slowly but surely, it'll come together.
