[VHFcontesting] [Magic Band EME] Re: [FFMA] Compaq/HP 50V server power supplies....

[Keith]

This is the same exact power supply I bought for the M2 6M-1000 that I purchased from Lance. I bought it on eBay for $40 including shipping. It will arrive on Friday. I will post the eBay vendor either good or bad experience after I check it out.

 I am hoping to be up and running on JT65A within next two weekends and EME shortly following.

Regards,
