SGC's SG-2020 HF transceiver is sold to private boat owners who
don't have to take any morse test to operate it legally on HF. Not
even if they buy power amplifiers to boost 20 W output to 400 W.

Yepper ...the same idiots I hear on the fishing boats utilizing the "F" bomb
every other word on the bottom of the 30 meter band. CB afloat .... real
role models .... and ya know what ...I don't even like tuna.

Doan wurra much, Tom. Pierre Goral passed away recently to join
his deceased partner in SGC, Don Stoner. Puget Sound (where SGC
is located) is way away from your part of the country. Easterners
probably think that Puget Sound and eastern Washington isn't part of
the USA. :-)

Lots of HF bandspace is there in the spectrum...but hams can't legally
use frequencies outside of their allocated narrow bands. The SG-2020
will tune to the whole of HF. Them tuna catchers in your part of the
country (?) won't mind a bit if you enjoy your cow. Mad.

Ham burghers? Moo bettah. :-)

Beep beep.
