[heathkit] Mohican GC-1A

[Mike W2MK <kmikeheath@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for your note.

I got a lot of stuff from a friend who had to
"downsize" when he moved.  This mod kit was in it. 
Looking through the stuff I got I found the Mohican
rig also.  No heath tag on it that I can find easily,
but learning more about them it looks like this rig is
the GC1 because of the date of the mod postmark etc.

I do plan to sell the set, maybe on ebay unless I get
a good offer otherwise.

Thanks and 73,

Mike
