Mark,

That's a fine accomplishment!  But, just curious as to what kind of 
FMing you find you have at that power level?  We've found that limiting 
the power to about 50-60w out and, after tweaking the neutralizing for 
minimum FM, the "wobbulation" can be brought down to a very respectable 
level.
