[TowerTalk] Johnson Matchbox

Got the Matchbox hooked up this weekend and ran it in the BARTG RTTY 
contest.  Ran 500 watts with the SB-200 and it didn't even get warm.  Guess 
it will take lots more than 275 watts!

Started out at lower power and worked my way up to full power.

Thanks for all the replies and looks like this one is a keeper.  73
