[Amps] Tubes vs. Solid State

[Paul Christensen]

Pete,

It would be great if Dick, K4XU contributed to the list on a regular basis. 
Now there's a guy who can add some value to the discussions here.  I believe 
he was part of some amp designs for Alpha and Ten-Tec.

Same with W4ETO, W8JI, and NA9D who were a regular part of AMPS back in the 
'90s.  I'll reach out to them and see if there's any interest in re-joining.

Paul, W9AC
