The merger creates a multi-million-dollar company with products that span QRP transceivers to full-legal-limit amplifiers and establishes an organization with the size and scale to continue to innovate into the next decade and beyond. RF Concepts/Alpha Amplifiers has been building amplifiers continuously since the early 1970s and has put more than 13,000 amplifiers in the hands of demanding amateur radio operators. Alpha Amplifiers are considered "the finest line of linear amplifiers in the world" by the ham community. TEN-TEC, founded in 1968, produces top-of-the-line receivers, transceivers, amplifiers and tuners and is known worldwide for the reliability and performance of its products. "For more than 40 years, Alpha Amplifiers and TEN-TEC have shared a reputation in the amateur radio market for offering exceptionally well-engineered, American-made products backed by extraordinary customer service," said Seedman. "Alpha Amplifiers is known for 'key down performance,' and TEN-TEC is known for pushing the boundaries of transceiver performance and capabilities. "The merger of these brands under the RF Concepts banner makes perfect sense," added Seedman, "not only in terms of creating a powerful product line, but also in terms of positioning our company for the future. This merger more than doubles the size of our business allowing us to invest more capital in innovative engineering and customer-driven product development." RF Concepts' operations will now be shared between its Longmont Colorado facility and its Sevierville Tennessee facility. The company is currently seeking a new operations facility in the Sevierville area to more efficiently house factory operations, part of the engineering resources, and technical and customer support services. The Colorado facility will house engineering resources, technical and customer support services, and much of the front-office operations. Both Jim Wharton, NO4A, who in January of this year took the reins of TEN-TEC upon the retirement of founder Jack Burchfield, K4JU and Ken Long, N0QO, who has been overseeing the operations at Alpha Amplifiers will be Presidents of their respective group, working together to build a strong, innovative company. "Ken and I have spent quite a bit of time discussing our short- and long-term focus over the last few weeks and I feel our responsibilities are very clearly defined.", said Wharton. "Jim and I have a lot of work to do to make sure the merging of these two brands goes as smoothly as possible." added Long. The merger announcement comes just days before one of the signature amateur radio events in North America-the Dayton (Ohio) Hamvention-where more than 75,000 hams are expected to converge on the Hara Arena Complex to discover the latest innovations in amateur radio. Both Alpha Amplifiers and TEN-TEC will operate separate booths at this years show (May 16 - 18). Both booths will feature new products and special offers to commemorate the merger. At booths 209-210 in the North Hall, Alpha Amplifiers will be demonstrating the soon-to-be released DreamTuner 4040 Automatic Antenna Tuner, a graphically based, 4KW Autotuner. At booths 458-450 in the East Hall, TEN-TEC will unveil the Patriot, an open source, arduino-based SSB transceiver.

Based in Longmont, Colo., the company is known worldwide for its quality amplifiers. Alpha Amplifiers have been continuously manufactured in the United States since the early 1970s.

php のインストールの確認

phpって最初のfacebook書くときに使われたみたいで、それなりに歴史のある言語で、私も2006年位から使っていますが、CLIで使う事はあまり無いので、apacheとの連携のトラブル（mod_phpのバージョンの齟齬）などは気になりますが、拡張モジュールのインストールの問題に...

  • バタフライバリコンの制作
    銅パイプを使ったバリコンを制作してきましたが、間に噛ます誘電体の信頼性から、PTFE位しかなく、大きさが小さくならない、重量もそれなり、可動部が片側の端子となる（駆動距離分の配線処理）等から、4～5KV程度の耐圧の150pF位が自作の限界で、制作コストも安くなく、ジャンクの真空バ...
  • FT8のdB表示（SNR)
    FT8でのDXが結構普及してきて、信号強度の交換は自動でやってくれるので、-XXdBというのをあまり気にしていない人も居るかと思いますが、やはりー（マイナス）って付くと気になります。　また、コンディションを予測する場合、どの位の信号レベルであればCWでの交信も可能かの判断の材料...

    全長２４ｍのデルタループとSCG-235の組み合わせは、それなりに活躍してくれて、４月からの６カ月で、それでも180カントリー位貢献してくれましたが、やはり指向性アンテナで無いと受信はかなり苦しいので、隣家の上空侵犯をしないサイズのアンテナを色々探して、最終的にHex Bea...
