[Johnson] Thunderbolt and Valiant

[Ed Wirtz]

Hi, Larry,

I've read most of the replies you received for using the Valiant and T-Bolt 
and here's what I did. I used my Viking Navigator to drive the T-Bolt. Of 
course I had to build an outboard plate modulator for the Navigator but it 
works great and I didn't need any attenuators in line. I used the resister 
input to the amplifier and set it up with a scope. I get about 350 watts 
resting carrier and it peaks at about 800 watts with minimal distortion.

A little work but the result made it worth the while. Now I'm doodling 
putting the T-Bolt on 160!!!

Have fun and 73,

Ed, KØBKA
