I agree with that.

I don't have a problem with that.

As you say, that is the point of the reflector.

Is Tom saying that most hams are not capable of tuning an amplifier? I

I believe the above procedure to be incorrect. I see little to indicate

Will is the moderator of this list. It hasn't been more than a week that he
requested us to act in a civilized manner. Telling somene to get off the
list because your opinion is in disagreement with his appears to be exactly
what he was talking about.
