Ouch, I will be careful and keep the power down to 400 or 500
watts. I think the current owner does radio tech work for Santa
Barbara County and he bought the amp used from another guy so I
am not sure how old it is. Of course, he says it works well.
73, Jim

Jim, I burned up the finals in mine, so just be careful with it.
I never
found out how I fried the finals, so I couldn't avoid doing what
ever it was
that cost me over $400 to fix.

Subject: Upgrading my station
Alan, thanks much for your help last week with T31LP. That was
indeed a very cool contact and I got a good recording direct from
my headphone jack. Thanks for asking Lee to explain the project.
On another topic, I am going to upgrade my station here, putting
up a Gap Titan Vertical which covers 80 through 10 and just
today, I found a deal on an ALS600 Amp with power supply. If
anyone has thoughts about that amp, either negative or hopefully
positive, let me know soon because the guy wants to know in the
next day or so. Thanks and 73, Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Re: I worked Alan last Wednesday morning
Hello Jim and everyone, yes, I did work Jim when the T31 came to
the group
to work all of the guys. Stan and I had worked T31LP for about
25 minuttes
when I asked him to drop by 7163 and work the group. He was
gracious enough
to drop by for a good 30 minutes and worked everyone on freq,
including Jim.
T31 is relatively rare, and so it was a good snag for Jim. Drop
by any
night that you can Jim, we would love to have you in the group.
If anyone
else would like to try the group out, we are on 7163 every
morning at 05:00
east coast time, and 02:00 AM out here.

Thanks Tom, will remember Alan and try to send positive prayers
and energy his way. I just talked with him around 02:00 last
Wednesday morning when we were talking to T31LP on the Amelia
Earhart project. Alan helped me get in contact with them.
Thanks Alan! Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Health Update On Our Friend Alan, N7MIT
Hello, everyone.
I have been corresponding back and forth with our friend Alan
(N7MIT),
regarding various issues pertaining to learning the I phone, and
I requested
an update on his latest health concerns.
Unfortunately, the news is not very good.
Alan has given me permission to share the news with the group.
To quote Alan himself:
"I got very bad news yesterday regarding my lung biopsy. I have
adno
carcinoma in both lungs, and have been referred to a specialist
that deals
with cancer of the lung. It sounds pretty bad, but I will fight
it."
Let's all continue to keep Alan in our thoughts and prayers.
