The last I heard, Jim, they were not RIP. Norm is currently in his 90s.

The amplifiers they built undoubtedly worked. However, the splatter was
a whole nuther matter. . So far, no has even come close to breaking
CHR's awesome 80m record.

Every SSB amplifier that has ever been built splatters. The question is
how many db down.

Clearing a sufficient path by any means is most certainly not an error
during a contest. To clear a narrower path, reduce grid-current. To
clear a wider path, increase grid-current.
