     Why the heck not? People I know runing G2DAF
     amps do sound much better and also have less
     bandwith then big time prominent hall of fame
     contesters using  Alpha/Ameritron amps and
     latest so called state of the art exciters. 
     Whats wrong here?  You tell me! Not that I don´t
     already know where the problem is but still.
     Don´t mock the fellows runing the DAF´s correctly
     instead moch the creatures that can´t handle their
     fancy equipment and do make life miserable for 
     others on the band .
