[AMPS] Re: COMMERCIAL AMPS MOD

[Doug Waller]

THANKS to all who replied.  I have settled on three options:  Buy a
discounted ham amp,  buy a used commercial amp and convert it, or buy one
huge used tube and build an amp around it.  Will wait and see what this
dag-nab Georges does, then make a decision.         73/dx, Doug - Nx4d
