I define that as an "optimist."
The masochist is the person who pleads "beat me."
The sadist says "nooooooo."

Message-ID: <9608198431.AA843165571@CCMAIL.AIRTOUCH.COM>
I would like to get my 30L-1 ready for an upcoming
contest-expedition... but the amp is arcing in the power
supply and I can't trace out the problem.
Is there anyone out there that has experience with the amp
that I can bounce some questions off of?
I am also looking for documented mods for the 30L-1.
Please contact me directly @ ken.silverman@airtouch.com
Many thanks,
Kenny, WM2C/6

York (and probably fared decently against the pack, I did not compare
all the scores) BUT they say my log is not there.......A hell of a
