[Amps] High SWR,

[Pete Smith]

Carl occasionally goes too far, but he also has forgotten more about 
amps (from a practical and repair perspective, especially) than most 
of us will ever learn.  He's a valuable resource, and it would be a 
shame to have him banned.  Use your delete key or filter his messages.

Compared to the flame wars of old, this is pretty tame stuff.

73, Pete N4ZR
