That'll do it, just checking out the transmitter.  Would appreciate reports on the audio quality, want to make sure I got rid of an old AC Hum in the transmit.  Audio looked clean here.

Thanks for the clip!  Sounds like the AC hum I had is gone.  Now to work on the audio quality and get the board and EQ back in line.

Good to see  your voice, Twangy!

Still lurking in mom's basement.  A bit less active lately, mainly due to the fact that all antennas are in the rebuild/PM process, and things have taken a lot longer than expected.  Every now and then I put up a quick longwire when there are no storms expected, but not last night.
