har har LOL,you didn't really think.............nah cmon now...........
:O) A ham friend of mine actually did have an old Harris commerical amp that would run an honest 5,000 watts. His transceiver was opened up for transmitting, and he was idly tuning around the citizen's band. He heard some guy who had just gotten an old FT-101 cooking on CB, and was saying: "Hey all you 5 watt pukes out there, this is what One...Hundred...Watts sounds like!" My friend fired up the Harris and hollered into the mic: "Hey all you hundred watt pukes out there, this is what Five...Thousand...Watts sounds like!" The CBer declined to answer. True story. |

'knew someone that was involved in installation of large amplifiers (10KW)
for CDNARS (Civil Defense National Alert Readiness System) some 25 years ago... It seems that there was this installation in an underground vault near Denton Texas, and a rather nice antenna farm not too far away that could be controlled from the vault... The friend also didn't like the high power CB crowd in the area as they had been getting more than a bit out of band.... Someone claiming to have a kilowatt mobile was parked across the street from the CDNARS station, and kept pressing his luck... This guy just wouldn't quit, moving from channel to channel and blasting innocent people with his brand of "i'm louder, and therefore better than you". After an afternoon of finding this guy splattering all over the bands, the friend connected a large, gain antenna, and after repeated requests and warnings to clear the frequency, took the matter into his own hands and pumped 10KW straight down this guy's throat, right on his frequency..... Somehow, it seemed to affect his equipment, as he quit transmitting and wasn't heard again for the better part of a month at least (beyond that, the friend had moved on to another site, so doesn't know beyond that time). There was a rumor that there was a release of smoke from the mobile, but I'm not all that sure how or how much. (Now, how he had a kilowatt in a mobile vehicle 25 years ago stretches my belief a bit, but it's still a good story). Even if he was blowing smoke up _my_ a**, it's still fun to think that someone got theirs, even if the means wasn't within reasonable bounds. Of course, taking matters into your own hands wouldn't be legally or politically correct.... --Rick Michael White wrote: har har LOL,you didn't really think.............nah cmon now........... :O) A ham friend of mine actually did have an old Harris commerical amp that would run an honest 5,000 watts.

Back when younger, and much dumber...I was a navigator on an EC-135, command
post aircraft. Had a HF control head at my crew station. Could put out 1000 watts on a wire antenna about 200+ feet long. All this at 25,000+ feet. Wasn't a ham back then but knew that 27185 was CB channel 19. Yep, I used it. Yes, it did get out just fine. I could 'blanket' an entire state with one transmission. Every trucker in 300 miles would be on the channel asking "what was that?" One guy answered with a conformation that I was 'making the trip'. He said "I don't even have my antenna connected and your pegging the needle".

major snippage
(Now, how he had a kilowatt in a mobile vehicle 25 years ago stretches my belief a bit, but it's still a good story). Many years ago, I have a talked with a couple of folks that were running a KW out of their cars. Yes it WAS on the ham bands. As I recall, one of them had a problem with the amp in the trunk getting too warm and occasionaly shutting down on him. Another ran 75m mobile with a KW an a serious homebrew antenna.... the corona ball on his antenna was a copper float ball out of a toilet tank. :-) -n6ojn -- Steve @ Noon-Air Heating and A/C When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman. - -- La Bruyere |

How about putting one of the USAF GHFS stations on 27.185 at 10KW?
Been there, done that, long time ago...... Nick Steven Onines wrote: Back when younger, and much dumber...I was a navigator on an EC-135, command post aircraft.
