mani tnx!!

I believe the issue came to me front-and-center when I was discussing how
1KW output on the 160 meter band caused my GFI outlets to trip, and how
4KW would (theoretically) flicker the lights, thus making my wife believe
there were ghosts in the house.  My friend twisted his face in horror that
I might continue running more than 50 watts after the baby is born.


In retrospect my cause for concern centers around VHF parasitics leaking
from the amplifier rather than a 1KW signal at 18MHz - and even at that
i'm not concerned very much at all.
