[Amps] schamatis 160 meter amp using 3cx3000a7

[Robert B. Bonner]

Hey Gary no problem.

You wanna really get confused Tom and I will start spewing RACECAR Jargon
intermixed with the radio stuff.

That point it could take "THE" book to decipher.

Here's a term that works well in both languages:  "We'll get her dialed in."

Oh and another, NEVER REGRET saying something, your comments totally made my
day and a lot of others.  Bringing joy to others has got to be one of the
best things one can do, even if you feel sacrificed in the process...

Like Bill I have been in the game in excess of 45 years, I am not exactly
ignorant of high power tubes and amplifiers, and haven't heard this stuff
until recently. Being on a list that is supposed to be for discussing
amplifiers it would be nice to know what is being talked about without
having to dig out the encryption book to read an email. Volts, amps,
impedance and other standard terms fit right in.
Not to take anyone's fun away, but then Ebonics as an official language in
schools didn't make it either.

Geeeze, now I wish I hadn't said anything in the first place.
