I finished s/n 109 Sunday night but my output power seems to be down =
about 2 dB from everyone else's.  On my Oak Hills WM-2 I get about 2.6 =
watts at 13 volts and just over one watt at 9.5 volts.  I would suspect =
the wattmeter but my Rock Mite reads a solid 650 mW which should be =
about right.  the power is virtually the same on 40 and 20 so it =
shouldn't be a filter problem.  I'm suspecting the transformer but I =
would expect a problem there would cause a bigger power loss.  Rx. =
sensitivity seems fine and everything else works right.  It seems like =
everyone else is getting rated output but perhaps someone out there has =
some ideas. =20
