[TenTec] Using amplifier on rain gutter

[David Stansell]

O.K., I have received good advice on the rain gutter and using an amplifier.  I think you guys are right, it's risky and could start a fire as well as tremendous RFI problems.  I am finishing up an 80 meter Frame antenna here in the shack.  It should be on the air tomorrow if I can find a hiding place for it.  So far no complaints from neighbors when I load up the gutters on 80m using 90 watts.  Hoping the frame will work good enough for local gang.  Thanks to all for thier comments and advice.  Seems most everyone shyed away from using power.
  
  Got my PTO re-build kit from ten-tec for my 540 today.  I'm gonna attempt it myself and save $75.00.  Stand by.  Tnx, David  W4KA
