DX-100, plus a cool QSL card idea

[Larry Knapp]

Brian - Interesting....Well, any of the three would be a worthy addition to a
station...especially if it is an AM one.  Not too impressed with my DX-100B on
CW.

Since I have a DX-100B, I'd have to say I'd rather have the B version....did
not have a DX-100 as a novice back in 1961 so I'm enjoying just being able to
use this great transmitter now & then.  I like the advantage of the tuning the
way the 100B has as opposed to the 100 with stepped loading...and the
availabilty of the open hatch on the cabinet.  In any event, they are just
ablout the same elctrically.
