Hi,
Thank you for allowing me to join this listserv list.

I'm about midway toward building KPA500 kit.  Goal is to use it for NVIS 
comms.
Yaesu 1200 --- KPA-500 --- MFJ915 Line Isolator --- MFJ998R Rmt 
Autotuner --- MFJ915 Balun --- Ladder Line --- Random Length Dipole with 
LadderLoc at 32 ft.  This arrangement works great "barefoot," and I look 
forward to incorporating the KPA-500. My worst SWR on any frequency is 
1.3; and it's at 12M (which I won't need anyway).

Building the KPA-500 is interesting and gives me great respect and 
admiration for the micro-surgery professions. Glad I have a good 
magnifying glass handy. I highly recommend that all medical students who 
intend to pursue vascular or neuro-surgery be required to build a 
KPA-500 as a prerequisite.  :)

Thanks, for all your hard work, and I hope to become useful to this 
listserv list.
