[Amps] High SWR,

[KB0NLY]

Why doesn't someone finally kick Carl off here for god's sake?  I can't 
remember the last time he contributing something on topic or worth reading. 
I was on a different computer today when his comments came through, forgot 
to block him on here, now he is in the block list on both computers.

73,

Scott
