Easy question....an older Henry with an 8877 (3cx1500a7) All day 1500w.
Much heavier duty than any Alpha. It may take you a while to find one but
don't compromise. Usually 12-1400 $.
I personally am using the 87A but I miss my Henry...alot

What are all you guys using for RTTY contesting amps ? Santa is going to
bring VE1OP a late xmas present...
I have an AL811 with 4 x 811A tubes, but keep blowing tubes, resistors and
capacitors..I suspect this amp is not sturdy enough for the rigours of a
full weekend of RTTY ?? Or the tubes aren't tough enough ? I try to keep
it within spec, especially on RTTY...
Are there other amps/tubes that better fit RTTY contesting ? I don't need
a kilowatt, just 500-800 watts is plenty...
And yes, I know a 87A would do the trick, but I'd like to be able to
afford to eat after I buy a new amp...
Any suggestions ?
Thanks, GL in RU and Happy New Year to all...
