Hi Carl,

I gathered that from some of the RAL/RAL items I have read regarding
less than the best power. When you mentioned the regulator I was a
little confused so I looked again. Some of the articles I read called
the current regulator a "ballast" tube.

I have fooled around with a "converter" ahead of the RAK. It wasn't
serious, just some haywired, temporary, experiment stuff. But it worked.
One of these days I will build something a little sturdier and more
permanent. Can you spell Q5er?
