Naaa, never shut off the cb linear, heck, you think those guys out there are
that stupid and don't suddenly get a clue when you go from 4+ watts out to
hundreds!

Get real!

From 200 to a kw on an omniantenna is not quite such a shock (still, pays to be
tricky)...

When mobile, I run 500-1KW into a davemade 1/2 wave electrical length
mobile antenna, 1/4 wave physical length. I get excellent signal reports
all the time, lots from australia when the skip is in, I guess the thing
is getting out...

Now go sit by the water and in the middle of your conversation, shut off
your linear. I think you may surprise yourself. Ask Lelnad about getting
out when sitting by a lake running a linear.
