Hi list, and especially to other fellow radio amateurs out there.

I’m just wondering, if anyone uses a linear amp on HF? Due to the very nature 
of them they obviously require tuning, then there’s the issue of the auto tuner 
not being able to handle anything past 300W, and I’m lead to believe one 
probably needs 400 + to make any difference.

It’s not that I’m power-crazy, I’m just thinking it might give me a bit of a 
“leg up” in the  somewhat fiercer  pileups.

I’d be interested to see if anyone has any solutions! I fear it might be a bit 
of a long-shot though, as there doesn’t appear to be anything on 
active-elements.

Mark
