You won’t believe this guys……but I turned on my amp yesterday (in between 
soldering up a really cool YCCC SO2R+ kit) just to blow some dust out as I 
haven’t used it in a long time and believe it or not…..running ~500w, the stub 
knocks down the 2nd harmonic 20-25dB or so, but when only running the exciter @ 
1W to 100W, the harmonic does not get knocked down at all ! WTF ?! How can that 
even be? LOL

 

The harmonic also sounds slightly cleaner running the amp than NOT running the 
amp.

 

I hesitated to post this to CQ-CONTEST for fear you’ll all wonder just what the 
heck it is we’re drinking up here in NB…

 

I tend to joke around a lot, but I swear this is true.
