Thanks for the report!

I was running the 4-400A amplifier during the night (and TFN,) because the
solid state amplifier smoked the finals yesterday afternoon.  The fire
bottle amplifier has more headroom, and puts out a cleaner signal.  Besides,
winter is coming on, so I can use the extra heat in the shack. <G>
