Please do compare opinions of The AF1 on the reflector too, gentlemen. 

My recommendation was only *my* opinion even though it's based on many years
of pounding brass using such active filters going back to vacuum tube days. 

I'm sure many others would like to hear other reactions such as yours as
well. 

Congrats on the good contest with lots of good fun.

Hi Stan,

Yes, I was running 100 watts during the contest.  If I'm going to sit in
front of my radio all weekend then I want LOTS of QSOs!  So, I turn up the
power.  I was single band on 20m all weekend (I like being able to get a
good night's sleep!).  

I'm using a vertical and worked 290 stations in 87 countries and 25 zones.
I would have liked more QSOs but I napped through some critical periods on
Saturday and Sunday afternoon.  I'm very pleased with my country and zone
totals though.

I'll be ordering my AF-1 and cabinet next week.  Hope we can compare notes
when they're built!
