Hi Jack,
I don't mind the bickering at all. Makes this reflector more entertaining.
Besides if hams agreed on everything there would be no need for ham
radio--we'd all be clones. It does leave me [and I suspect others of limited
knowledge about amplifiers] in a dilema though. Who do we believe at the end
of the discussion?
Sometimes I think a guy could be ok if he just drew one straw from the pile
representing each idea.
