[Amps] Alpha 9500

[Tom Anderson]

Jeffrey:

I put my $$$$ down shortly after my XYL Cheryl (WY5H) and I saw it at Dayton and Visalia couple years ago in 2006.  I'd always wanted an Alpha anyway.

Molly W0MOM said then they were taking deposits then for them.  So after I went to C9 Mozambique in August 2006 and my XYL had problems tuning the Collins 30-L-1 we decided to get a no-tune 9500 so she could work me no matter where I was hi hi.  So we put our deposit down in late 2006.  Ours was ready in July 2007 so we were going to Colorado on vacation anyway so we just decided to pick it up ourselves in person rather than have it freighted to Texas.  Besides Molly gave us a personal tour of the plant and I got a free Alpha hat hi hi. Can't beat that.

Tom, WW5L
