[CW] Amplifier Sequencer

[Ed Tanton]

I found this company somewhere and really liked what I saw about 
their product. I just ordered their plain board (e.g. no cabinet or 
connectors or wiring.) We'll see how it turns out. I have a National 
NCL-2000 I picked up several years ago that had already been modified 
for 4CX400s (effectively as a project by Svetlana-USA themselves-and 
they did a BEAUTIFUL job of it.) My plan has been-all along-that, 
since this jewel already isn't 'stock', my messing with the 
sequencing & relays isn't going to hurt a thing.

So... I have some very nice HC-1 vacuum relays I'm going to replace 
the RF-path relays with, and add several other relays to ground any 
separate receivers being used -or, more correctly: the receiver 
distribution amp-as well as any secondary receive only and noise-only 
antennas. This ought to be the perfect baseline to start that with.

Since-according to the heart DR-I cannot lift more than 2 lbs for the 
next 8 weeks, this is obviously going to sit around until 
Spring-since I need to do some antennas and they are under the same 
sort of weight prohibition.

This sequencer board applies very nicely whether you're talking QRO 
or QRP. After all, you still want to ground any separate antennas, 
receivers, etc.

I THINK I can resume taking care of my reflectors. I can sit up 10-15 
mins at a whack, which seems to be enough to even get off the 
occasional missive such as this. Thanks for all your good wishes and 
prayers. All of it helped tremendously.
