AT least I know now, I'm not so alone in my age group ;-) Besides, I
think Brett/N2DTS in around our age group. Slightly but not only
a few
notches either way of 50 years old. Brian/WA5AM is around the same
age... most of the other AM'ers I know are retired and beyond.

Gotta hand it to Jon/AD5HR... he's only been a ham for about 6
yeas...
and he's building rigs. He's talking on a homebrew rig, running a
pair
of 807's modulated by a home-brewed modulator, running a pair of
807's,
and the modulator is driven by his homebrew speech-amp. That rig,
while
desktop. probably weighs in at around 1.5 lbs per watt ;-)
