[TenTec] New TT Amp

[Carl Moreschi]

Back in the 1980's, I used to run an HW-8 mobile.  This is a two watt CW 
only direct conversion radio.  For a stretch of time, almost everyday I 
would work a European while driving to work.  I had a homebrew 6 foot 
whip made by winding 24 gauge enamel wire on a 6 foot thin fiberglass 
rod.  It wasn't much of an antenna and 2 watts isn't much power, but 
somehow it worked.
