[AMRadio] RF Amp

[Rick Brashear]

I think you and Geoff are right.  I have and I might as well put it in a 
box and fire it up.  I do want to be sure I pay attention to the 
comments about having ample and ten some when it comes to audio 
reserve.  I can always turn it down.  I'm not sure the floor of my shack 
will hold all these BC-610's, 1R2 and a monster amplifier-modulator, but 
it will sure be fun testing it to see.  I guess there is an advantage of 
living alone, you can bust the floor out and not get into trouble!  

Man, Brett, I would love to have gotten in on that!  Transformers, 
chokes and BIG capacitors are my worst vice.

Thanks guys!
Rick
