[SixClub] 6-meter amp is sold and the contest is "When?"

[Roger (K8RI)]

The Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5Kfx is sold and the contest is WHEN?
Now I have to find all the cables (already have most) and finish packing 
(it's already in the original boxes)
I have to get the 76A, HT-33B, and 2002A checked out and photographed 
which is no small task as those things are *heavy*  and considerably 
larger than the solid state amp. So I know what I'm going to be doing 
this week.

I hope the week end and next week go better though.  (some have already 
seen this)I had a contractor call in the evening after I put up the add 
for the amps that he was coming the next day to replace the man door on 
my shop. Water had gotten under the existing one, ruined the door sill 
insert and the bottom of the door while ice had pulled part of the seal 
AND the door frame was starting to fall apart due in no small part to 
some one trying to kick the door in a few years back.  They didn't get 
far as there is a 1/8" steel insert 2" wide on the latch side that is 
lag bolted into the building frame. I hope they still limp.  (That's 
being charitable)<:-))
 At any rate, I spent the rest of the night cleaning in the shop, they 
turned up around 9:00 or so, and were ready to install the door when I 
discovered it was just an expensive copy of the old door, when  had 
stated I wanted on to open outward. That's a good idea for shops, and an 
OSHA requirement for commercial shops. I really gotta' get one of those 
Yellow cabinets for the chemicals out there.

But at any rate, as it was a custom, insulated, galvanized, special 
order door it is not returnable. Now I'm waiting for the proper door to 
arrive. AND trying to finish up testing and checking out the three amps 
for output and finish. I also have to finish photographing them and put 
those images up on the net.

Back to the contest: I was thinking of just sticking up a 1/4 wave 
vertical for the contest as I've had good luck with them, but there's a 
foot and a half of snow out there that's really slippery and the ground 
is uneven.  Out temps are just getting above freezing for highs which is 
well above normal for this time of year and makes walking on it like 
walking on grease. That left leg is working pretty good on flat ground 
that ISN'T slippery. <:-))
Whether I get on or not, I hope the band opens and you all "work the world"
