Shoot busman, 4X2879 on a base kicks some serious butt! It takes a ton of mobile watts to squish a system doing those watts from a base antenna. I gotta say though, I have been looking at six. I guess I got the fever.

I am still looking at those but would really like something with tubes and AB biasing. The Ameritrons are starting to interest me now. Will start another thread.

Hey Busman I got that same base amp don't see no more than 500 on my meter wide open. Only time I see 6 is when I go up one band on my Connex 3300HP. It's doing 35 watts!!!
