Re: [RTTY] My post on amp suggestions last week (AL811H)

Dick,

I have been using an AL811H for probably about 12-15 years. Mainly for 
RTTY contesting.  I have had no issues.   I run about 500 watts (300 on 
10m, it will not do more).    I did replace the tubes once.  One went 
bad, but I replaced them all since they are so inexpensive.
