Hi all: 

Well I ordered a new set of 811s and the parasitic kit from Ameritron on Sunday, hopefully they'll be here in a couple of weeks, as I did miss my amp when was operating the past month. 
If one thing I've found, an amp does give you a little bit elbow space and the WPX contest can test to that as I couldn't squeeze in anywhere. LOL During the DX contest though, just tightened down the 102's filters and was off and running. 
On tubes for a moment, should I bring them up slowly once installed, say a couple of hrs with low drive or just install, fire up the amp as normal?
