[Elecraft] OT: new SS amps

[Sandy]

No, but a popular mobile amp that ran 600 watts were selling for 
considerably less.  I used a Henry 2K-2 for years until it good too damned 
heavy for this old man to horse around!  I now have an Ameritron AL-811H 
Much lighter and 500 watts is very adequate.  Will run more, but why do it 
as the 811A's I have will last a long time at 500 watts CW.

Solid state would be nice....BUT.  Hard to by on a retirement fixed income.

73,
Sandy W5TVW

Been listening on 3546.5 nights around 0200-0300Z on the little rig inside.
