Bob: Because it costs $135/pair for the tetrodes in my Alpha 91b amps. What triode has a similar replacement cost for 1600W of plate dissipation? And, as it happens, my club owns a Ten Tec Titan II.
Paul: I misspoke myself below on the price I paid recently for the pair of 4CX800As: that price was for an older purchase a few years ago. In October, I paid $221 for a matched, tested pair of 4CX800

G'day Matt: Time is linear. I find it not remarkable that you heard HG6N running on 7018, then going to DA0HQ's frequency to work them, and then resuming their CQ on 7018 as you've described. Why do

It's tremendous bad luck to operate on any band or mode in a contest with an amplifier that does not include 160 meters, whether you plan to use it or not. There may even be an associated medical syn
