I have a semi-homebrew linear amplifier with four glowing globes of goodness.....a quad of 3-500ZGs. Keeps the shack nice and warm on cold Fairbanks winters. This beast can loaf along all day at full legal power on RTTY without asking "Mother May I."
"Life's too short for QRP." Well, actually I do QRP too. But it's nice to have the beast when I need it.
