[CQ-Contest] Coax Stubs for SO2R

[Joe]

This also puzzles me.
OK if an amp because of it's tuned matching circuits, block out of band 
energies.

The why do we have these energies at all in the first place?

Does not a Radio have the equivalent of an "Exciter" ( the ummm low 
level driver )

And the "AMP"  ( the final output amplifying system )

So, i9f all this filtering is happening why do we have spurious out of 
the radio, but not an amp?

If amps only amplify but do not generate harmonics then there is no scientific reason for filtering after the amp assuming the same amount of filtering is applied before the amp. In practical terms, this would mean that low power BPFs before the amp are as effective as high power BPFs after the amp.
