Never, never, never...rather I become friar and I go to a cloistered convent !

And for delight of those who use only the digital mode, this is the power supply of my HF PA.

DIGI MODES

Fall asleep over the keyboard

Go for Xmas Dinner

Go down the pub and get drunk

Sleep for a week

And

the rig still Belches out wspr or opera and is seen world wide, no rush back for results.

 

CW MODE

Fall asleep over the PA running 2 x 4CX 1500 tubes

A flash and a bang

Operator is Zapped and reduced to vapour

Signal never left the shack, no result

Operator SK SK

 

You can see why DATA MODES are preferred, there is no option if the operator of today wants to remain alive and is not in a hurry for results

 

Operators of today are sluggish and move in jerks sort of robotic and are more suited to chips and not daring like those of yesteryears that would glare at 200 Watt filaments with 10 Kilovolts on the anode and had to move fast to avoid a SK SK situation

 

I expect some old timers are also getting sluggish and moving towards Digital, the easy life which also prolongs the pension.

 

Merry Xmas and avoid Danger------think Digital
