Amp reflector? (Alpha 374A)

[RDTALBERT at aol.com]

In my personal opinion, creation of a QRO reflector is a great idea. Any
other support for this?

Totally agree.  I use an "MSC Smart Filter" which is a tunable SCAF,
and it is a major fatigue reducer.  The IC-761 has a lot of hiss and
a small amount of hum on the AF output (they could have done a better
job in the AF stage.)  The SCAF makes it all disappear, and greatly
reduces fatigue.  I'm sold on the usefulness of an outboard AF filter,
especially if the rig's AF curcuitry could use some improvement.

Kirk - you just don't understand... 

What if all of these people who got doctor's waivers showed up in the
CW Sweepstakes.

It would be a mess!!
