Hello Carl:

Is not a problem. Life is GREAT!

I am still here and what not, and doing very well.

That last tube you sent me was factory fresh, good gain and output power.

I have been working my normal job with heavy machinery and the antennas,
and working with some local miners (these guys are a riot to work with)
keeping there equipment running for them. We have a rf amp that uses a
pair of 3CX3000A7 Tubes for a Spectromoter. It analyzes metal and such.
Enough said! Yeah that ought to be fired up one day on the local channel.

Gee whiz Carl, that handle 2x4 really brings back memories, from days of
old. "Getty Up n Go" a old Country & Western Singer, use to have a
stacked set of Moonraker 4 Beam Antennas. He use to call em Two By Four
now Getty Up n Go..... Hehehehee. That was feed with a Johnson Viking
Valiant, driving a the Johnson 1 kW Amp with a pair of 4-400Z Tubes.
Getty Up n Go was located in Long Beach California, and could easily be
heard in the San Fernando Valley. After one of our Channel 15 CB Breaks,
Getty Up n Go would be all tanked up, and then sing and Yodel over his
big base station. Not a bad singer at all. Had a audio input for his
Gartar also so the audio quality was broadcast quality.

Getty Up n Go even took song requests from Truckers running down
Grapevine Hill, from Bakersfield running into the San Fernando Valley.
Man what great coverage.

Hope all is well with you Carl and your family.

Jay in the Great Mojave Desert, ....just down the road ah ways from the
fillin station.
