'''Snip'''

We run a contesting station for RTTY and use a Harris 103 Commercial Amp.
This unit is a floor model weighing in at over 200 pounds and uses a 3-1000
tube.  We paid less than a $1000 for it needing a little work.  Once
repaired, we run the legal limit for 48 hour contests with no trouble.
