I got mine second hand in 1979. It was a 10W SSB and CW rig covering all bands from 80-10m (no WARC bands then!), but with limited 10m coverage. With it, and wire dipoles, I worked DXCC QRP SSB on 10m. It ranks as one of the very best radios I have ever owned.

Agreed Roger.
I worked the world on my FT7. it was a lot of fun but when life's priorities changed, I sold it and then regretted parting with it. When I came back to Amateur Radio I managed to find a FT7B and look forward to using it as a field radio. 73 Paul VK2APA

Not selling no way :-)
