Hal,
We are looking for something that can be purchased quickly. Also, the 77 is
really a heavyweight and would seem to be overkill. I have two 87A's in the
shack but do not want to subject them to the possible shipping abuse
associated with this trip. Someone has already suggested the new SGC amp
with switching power supply which is appealing because of size and weight.

Dear Keith,
Take an Alpha 77Sx if you can find one.
If you're going to work a contest and the key is going to be down 24/7 then
you need something that will hold up under fire.
You can always adjust the mike gain for 400 watts.
