[RTTY] new thread.. the RTTY Amplifier

[Barry]

In my experience, loafing along at full power RTTY:

My current amp - Acom 2000A. The best, hi-tech amp in 
existence. It's so smart with protection and monitoring, you can't 
break it if you try. Auto-tune, all automatic. No noise - you can put 
the amp in another room, and just have the control panel in the 
shack. Details at www.hfpower.com. Tubes (2 - 4CX800A) relatively 
cheap. Only con - it's price.

My previous amp - Alpha 77Dx (one tube) - very heavy duty. Only 
disadvantage is manual tune, if you like jumping bands. Tube 
(8877) a bit pricey.
