Fellow Amateurs:
Just got my new Alpha 9500 and was wondering if the flat 1-2" silver
braid or just say #4 or maybe #2 gauge wire made the best ground?
I've been using #4 on my Collins 30-L-1 for years.

Bob:
I have nothing but good things to say about Alpha. When they were going
to be at Ham Com in Plano TX last June, Alpha's prez Molly Hardemann
W0MOM called me and said to bring my 9500 with me to Ham Com. They
would take it back to Boulder with them, make all the hardware and
software mods it needed and ship it back to me at no charge. Can't beat
customer service like that, making changes even before I knew there were
any problems.
And this was even before I had had a chance to put it on the air. I had
to wait for an electrician to schedule a "small job" like mine to
install a 220 line in the shack. Took him months to schedule it.
My 30-L-1 was wired for 120 and worked like a charm on that voltage with
600 watts out max, even though the most I ever ran on the air was 500
and usually just 400 watts out. Just didn't want to push the 811A's

Jeffrey:
I put my $$$$ down shortly after my XYL Cheryl (WY5H) and I saw it at
Dayton and Visalia couple years ago in 2006. I'd always wanted an Alpha
anyway.
Molly W0MOM said then they were taking deposits then for them. So after
I went to C9 Mozambique in August 2006 and my XYL had problems tuning
the Collins 30-L-1 we decided to get a no-tune 9500 so she could work me
no matter where I was hi hi. So we put our deposit down in late 2006.
Ours was ready in July 2007 so we were going to Colorado on vacation
anyway so we just decided to pick it up ourselves in person rather than
have it freighted to Texas. Besides Molly gave us a personal tour of
the plant and I got a free Alpha hat hi hi. Can't beat that.
Tom, WW5L
