Will,
I would encourage you to re-join the ranks. Quitting doesn't make it
better. It's what we do that makes a difference. If we want to listen,
there will always be enough nay sayers to discourage anyone. Better to
elmer those that want to learn (I spent the afternoon doing just that;
helping a young man do a conversion on a GE Mastr II for an itinerant
repeater). Keep up the good work.
73, Tony W4ZT

an amateur radio operator, ones knowledge does. Matter of fact, I know
some 11 meter folks with more knowledge than a bunch of licensed amateur
folks. Also, some of the very amateurs who hold that piece of paper
were the very people who designed and built a huge amount of those
11 meter amps! So to say that the information here is not useful to
any amateur in that he may consider using these 11 meter amps as
amateur amps is as Senator Byrd once said to a reporter about his
question, it's twaddle.
