[Amps] "I gotta tell this"

[N7HIY]

the broadcast, commercial and military transmitter industry has long ago 
switched from archaic tube amplifier technology to solid state devices.
we, ham radio, are the laggards in the change of technology
even the Russian and Chinese hams are leading the US hams in the change
we will go QRP from lack of energy and oil long before the few thousand hams 
that run tube amps run out of replacements
