Dave,
I thought the purpose of the reflector was to build amplifiers, I could care
less who they are built for, i.e.. Ameritron, Alpha, Henry or the U.S.
Government as long as we are all learning from the thread of the topic.
I don't see the problem with helping Tom, Rich or anyone else that ask for
help as long as everyone is learning.
The posting on switches has been great and some of the ideas that have been
presented is good food for thought on the different ways to get the job
done.
