Here at my off-the-grid, solar-charged, battery-powered QTH, I'd need a submarine fulla good batteries just to run the heater on onna those, let alone leaving a brick on the key all day. ===8-O

So you¡¯re squeamish about 20 or 40 amps on

Well, wait ¡®til ye graduate to Valves with

Lifting Handles!

Some of those babies need 165 amps to warm

them up.

Rich Measures fooled around with Handles.

He sure did.? But he remembered to start each

I¡¯ve been sitting on three monsters currently

in the parts shed. Got the tubes, etc.

But cannot meet Step: One any more.
