[Amps] High SWR,

[KB0NLY]

By now Carl is probably making posts that attack me in person, most likely 
attacking my intelligence or some other mental ability, that's where he 
always takes it.  So have fun reading his replies as I have added him to my 
blocked list here and put him into my custom spam blocker so he gets some 
nice auto replies...

73,

Scott
