Well, I know Jerry V6TL hunkered through a bunch of 1154s and only found, I think, four tubes that were any good. And on one of the transmitters, he actually pushed it a little too hard and killed it, the two transmit tubes. So there's just the one working one now at the Bomber Command Museum. And so we'll try not to push it too hard. So like I say, it won't be full power. But if we can get 40, 50 watts out of it, there's a possibility of making some contacts around the world with that and the NFET halfway antenna that they've got strung up now. So we'll see. Yeah, I think the Chinese are still making some tubes. The tube that was used in that transmitter is kind of an oddball configuration. I can't remember exactly what made it different. But there's no plug replacement. Most of the other tubes there was equivalents that could be had. And especially with the receiver, there's replacement tubes that were equivalent. But those transmit tubes were a little different. As far as I know, nobody else is making them and maybe ever made them. So we're lucky to have going what we've got going. Back to you from V6 PLC.
