Okay - You got me John!

I meant it to be when keyed!

Sheesh!  Happy Holidays!

Do you know what a BC-610 is like in a shack?

Flip the TX switch - meter goes to 400W.  MUST be careful on the loading 
the BEAST!  I went to a Bird 43 peak reading with a 2000W slug.  Found 
that if I load it the way it likes, I can pin the meter.

So - I purchased a 2500W slug, AND detune slightly to maintain legality 
AND MY license!
