Oops, I made a boo boo!
I said a shorted stub, and I meant to say an open stub!
The criteria I gave was correct for a typical pi-type PA and THIRD harmonic
stubs, with the exception of my calling it a shorted stub when it must be a
quarter wave OPEN stub at 21 MHz. I believe that was the question, the system
layout for maximum third harmonic suppression.

Special WPX Announcement:
I will be operating 4U1CAR from the top floor of the U N parking garage in
New York City. The garage is physically seperated from the U N building and
is on sovereign property with its own special diplomatic privileges and rules.
After seeing the "Amplifiers Systems Inc" CE 10000 adverised in the "DX
Bulletin" for the longest time I decided to buy several of them and will be
using them in the contest. I am happy to report that they are all working in
perfect concert with each other into monoband stacked yagis.
Life is too short to only be operating QRO! We don't race go-karts at Indy,
so I'm greatful to these parties for their continuing innovations that push
the envelope of excellence in contesting. It truly makes contesting more
efficient....and more fun. I don't have time to scream endlessly in a pileup,
and I won't tolerate missing a "new one".
This is not a criticism of "Amplifiers Systems Inc", because no amateurs had
actually purchased any of them. (Right?) In fact "Amplifiers Systems Inc" only
runs the add month after month as a charitable contribution to the "DX
Bulletin", in order to keep them afloat! The "DX Bulletin" only accepts the
adds because many of the readers may be interested in this product for
industrial purposes other than amateur radio. It's like the two hunchbacks
doing business with each other. "One said to the other, I'll scratch your
hump if you'll scratch mine!"
Really, please don't continue your criticism of these Super QRO Sportsman,
they only do it for the good of the hobby. They do it to encourage new blood
into contesting. After all, these newbees with their poor antenna's can't
hear well enough to work anyone anyways except for maybe these Sportsman.
"The grass is always greener on the other guys grave."
Sincerely,
Dr. Baffofnik
