Good post Mr.Switch Kit.
This low power, high swing is all new to me so I'm trying to get a handle on it in all honesty.
I guess you could say my knowledge is "old school" and I'm trying to play catch up with the modern stuff.
I have to say I'm impressed with the claims of the modern "export" rigs that I've seen advertised ( but take with a grain of salt), 60 to 200 + watts without the aid of a linear! I knew people who would sell their wives and/or children for one of these back in the 60's.
I have to admit they were fun times, we'd drive miles to the only mountain around, get up nice and high and make contacts in South America and other areas of the U.S. on 4 watts, fun times, if you had a beam and a "footwarmer" you were a "top gun", the good ol' days.

[QUOTE="MatchboxMan, post: 57494, member: 1440"] Good post Mr.Switch Kit. This low power, high swing is all new to me so I'm trying to get a handle on it in all honesty. I guess you could say my knowledge is "old school" and I'm trying to play catch up with the modern stuff. :D I have to say I'm impressed with the claims of the modern "export" rigs that I've seen advertised ( but take with a grain of salt), 60 to 200 + watts without the aid of a linear! I knew people who would sell their wives and/or children for one of these back in the 60's. :) I have to admit they were fun times, we'd drive miles to the only mountain around, get up nice and high and make contacts in South America and other areas of the U.S. on 4 watts, fun times, if you had a beam and a "footwarmer" you were a "top gun", the good ol' days. :D [/QUOTE]
