[Boatanchors] [Galaxy-WRL] 160-10m Compact 160-10m Tube SSB Rig?

[Dale Putnam]

I have a Multi-Elmac A54H 75-10 tx.. it fired up with an HP23 supply...
It would be very happy to be a participant.. and it doesn't weigh 45lbs.
If you're interested, please contact me off list.
Thank you, 

Have a great day,
