Re: [AMRadio] 12/07
Gentleman - We are all indebted to the 'greatest' generation, to our fathers and mothers who suffered through the great depression, and triumphed in world war II. Their work ethic, patriotism, and incredible ingenuity saved the world from evil. Just think of all the wonderful technologies that came from it. Communications and Aviation took tremendous leaps, and the hams and engineers among them took us to the next level. On this special day of dastardly deed and horror, let us remember this day as a beginning, the birthdate of the struggle that made heros out of so many ordinary folks who answered the call for children, all these years later, not yet born. God Bless the Veterans and the USA... 73...and happy AMing!

Re: [AMRadio] 12/07
I have personally known two men, both now deceased, who were at pearl harbor. One was a ham, Tom, WB5PJP, who watched it all happen while taking cover under a large truck ( he was in the army air corps). you know, I have several old wooden radio's from the era, and I have always imagined a family sitting around one of them listening to all of this unfold. Incredible. I will say thanks to all vets of all of our wars who were willing to put thier lives on the line doing what was right. My own father made two combat jumps with the 82nd A/B, at Normandy, and in Holland. all of these men and women left big footprints.

Re: [AMRadio] 6CA7/EL34 replacements
My son uses a Koch guitar amp with Ruby EL-34B-STR tubes and they dont hold up well, another one shorted last week. What are the preferred brands? Searching the web gives a lot of conflicting info.
