Why are you worried about chirp. Chirp is a beautiful thing and sets 
you apart from the modern SS rigs. Get on Straight Key Night this 
weekend and swing with rest of the old clunkers.

If you need an amp, look for an old Heathkit SB200, $300 max. Or if 
you home brew a couple of 813s grid driven will easily give you over 500W.
