[AMPS] ALC connection

[Rick Bullon]

Thanks for the fast replies. I now know that I can forget about the ALC 
connection that it is not needed and that I should have 4 straps in the 
Clipperton-L.
Luckily when I got the amp I got a parts amp with it so I can take a strap 
from that unit and replace the missing one. But I will not get around to 
this for a while. Still have to finish the tower project first. After all 
the amp does me no good without antennas :-)
