wish you'd posted this before i left for Hamvention....i've got prob over 100 ft left of 8ga from a spool i bought a few years back and a couple of non-fused dist. blocks (good for ground) i could have brought down with me. I've even got a couple fused ones...

what about two u-bolts hard-mounted into the front bumper...once you're parked you take two 10' lengths of fence poles, attack them together, attach an a99 (possibly with a gpk) or 102", raise it and drop it into the ubolts? 1, ur not screwing with something the company might get pissed over...

I learned it back when i was in "cubs" but they never had anything patch-wise for it i don't think....wonder if i still have my stuff from near 40 years ago.
thinking this puppy is an AM only....????
got the HP down to a 2w carrier on AM, and on ssb it showed a pep at around 4w (using an astatic swr/power meter set at 10w setting)
hooked up the amp and everything looked fine on AM, but when i keyed and modulated on ssb it would show low power for a...
i'm able to get decent bandwidth with my 5k...roughly 1.5Mhz @ 2.0:1 and under

my results and discussion re: are posted in this thread...

Thanx 9C1
i'll check out the swing and see what it can do for a lowest pep.
Does it look like a 10-12m am/ssb amp? i keep reading about ssb delay but don't have a clue what i'd be looking for to see if it has that ability. I'd like the extra 3-5db but what good is it if it's just splatter...
