The great thing about Ham radio is that there are so many ways you can do

Good on Bob for giving everybody a rev up about home construction, and good

I use a factory built amp which I got second hand for less than the cost of
the parts.
But then there is that 4-1000 and assorted goodies stashed in my workshop.
Part of the retirement plan...

and lets all have a great 2100.
