[SCCC] W6VSS K6UA Dale Hoppe

[Art-W6KY]

This is per Harry W6LKC(SK).  When the FCC busted Dales Multi Multi,
every ashtray had a burning cigarette in it at every station, but Dale 
was the
only one there. Just a lot of open windows!!  Also as to the power he was
running, can't say, but I have one of the rack mounted tuners that were 
being
used and it will handle 5KW easy!!!

PS,  it ain't an amp till the finals have handles...
