    Thanx Ed!



   Well:  Nummer One - It's only a Hobby. As in: to have fun with.

          Nummer Two - I got the AL-80 and Tuner pretty cheap. (SK estate)

          Nummer Three - I have a Ranger and a Valiant. The Ranger needs a 
couple of minor 'tweaks'; the Valiant has a few things that need fixin', 
and that equals time and money, thus I'll go with what I have, and work on 
Improvements later..

          Nummer Four - I'm actively looking for a Thunderbolt - none on 
the hook right now.

          Nummer Five - No one's actually *answered* the questions I have 
about 'waking up' the amp. (Yet, at any rate.) There has been some very 
pertinent and helpful advice, however - much appreciated.

          Nummer Six - see Nummer One. Don't curse the QRP - light a 
Filament!



         Cheers
