Hello, I couldn't resist telling all how 'easy' it was to add a cooling 
fan to the PA final fins.  Just drilled four holes, then tied a 4-inch 
115vac Rotron 'whisper-quiet' fan with plastic tie-wraps.  The power 
drain is 4-watts and my test was 80 watts for one hour and not even 
110F at the end of the test.... Luke warm to the fingers!   

A happy camper...  W3RYJ,  Jim Reed.

PS: My rig comes on through a power-strip so the fan only runs when 
     the rig is 'on'.
