    Dentron Clipperton L burnt band switch.

    Our local tech helped me converting Dentron amp to just 11 meters to bypass burnt wafer switch. It was really pretty easy. Amp will not work on other bands unless jumper wire is cut or removed. The copper jumper wire makes amp run on just 11 meters. Works great.

    Recommendations on an inexpensive 10/11/12 meter base antenna

    I have a Antron 99 and a Imax 2000 hooked up here in Michigan and both work great on 10 and 11 meters plus have weathered the hard winters here with no problems. Best antennas for the money period!!!!

    Varmint 1000 or D&A Phantom

    I would go with the Phantom. The 6lq6 tubes are easier to find and it is easier to work on if a big if it will ever need any work. Tune it up correctly and do not drive the snot out of it and it is a great amp. I have 4 of them myself.
