[Amps] My 813GG amp works

[Bowen, Scott M. (JSC-CC)[LM]]

 Hello all,

Taking some advice about putting that homebrew 813 GG, that I bought, on
the air for a while before I try to modify it for other bands. I to try
it on Saturday night/Sunday morning around 1230 AM for the first time.
The wife was snoozing in bed, I thought... why not give it a go...

So I tuned it up into the dummy load on 3810 kHz, driving it with 65
watts out of my transmitter through my antenna tuner to match the
transmitter and the amplifier, I flipped the switch the watt meter
indicated 650 -700 watts out of the amplifier and into my antenna,  got
a "sounds mighty fine" signal report... and then our house alarm went
off... And it wasn't even "armed"

Needless to say, the wife got out of bed... she said, well I guess it
works, but can you not use it again until you figure out how to keep
that from happening again...

I guess the alarm system didn't like that amount of RF, but the amp
works!

Now I need to solve that alarm problem...
