Yeah you owe the apology. The 101's are rated for 25 watt max carrier on AM. Then they will swing to 100 p.e.p. You may also hit the 100 watts with a 20 watt carrier depending on the audio drive level. They should have built in some kind of limiting circuit on AM Carrier level power but they didn't. So you can turn the knob and go past 25 watts but it burn up the tubes in a short time.
And ..... you don't "snip" anything to get 11 meters on the 101. They are Crystal Controlled and have to replace one of more of the 10 meter crystal with 11 meter ones.
