  Greg, I forgot to finish the amp information. Conrad used a schematic we found on line then added his own experience to change it a little. It uses a 12AU7 and a 6AQ5 tube. It probably puts out 5 to 6 watts.. He commented finding the right transformer is the hardest part for him. Like other tube stuff, I guess, it needs to warm up a while or it is really scratchy and does not sound too good.  I probably paid him too much to build it but wanted to support him. He has helped me a lot with antennas and other radio stuff.

  Hi Greg.  Good to hear from you again. KB8NJH de WG5T.

  My HF Amp is a Heathkit SB1000.  I don't use it that much. Mainly on 40 and 80M.

  The little CBG tube amp was made for me by another local ham, W7WLM. Conrad is one of those guys that will take some spare parts and make anything. I really like it but in reality it is probably no better than one of CB Gittys kits, plus tubes are slowly going away and getting expensive. The 3-500Z in my Heathkit is +/- $200.

  Take care and let me hear from you.

  73 and Good CBG's

"Brande des Hermites" and "Volte Praetorius" - it's two works from the collection of popular dances of France, Pascal Bouquet written specifically for learning to play the lute. 
  
  Francesco Canova da Milano (Italian Francesco Canova da Milano) - Italian Renaissance lute, one of the major European composers XVI veka.Franchesko Canova da Milano is one of the best composers of lute music, and possibly greatest lute virtuoso of all time. His work, and the amazing beauty of a consistently high level, and are often performed today.
