[Boatanchors] Anyone Using a Navigator on 20 Meters?

[Whitebear1122]

Curious if anyone is using a Johnson Navigator on 20m.   Do you have chirp?  After sitting on the shelf for many (!) years I fired up the Navigator, replaced the 6146, cleaned an intermittent switch, replaced the dual fused AC plug with a nice 3 wire grounded plug and added an inline fuse.  

Sounds good on 80 meters, found it chirpy on 20 meters.   Too chirpy to take it out for a spin with a CQ.  

That Navigator is the cutest little thing but I admit the 20 some watts output is too QRP for me.  It’s begging for a little 811 amp or even 2just a couple of 6146’s like the Valiant.  The Valiant has been my main AM/CW BA rig since 1995 and is perfect for cw and AM, but that Navigator is so darn cute :)
