Hello Dr Death:

Oh yeah I am sure. It boggles the mind that someone would buy something
like this, way back when.

One of the engineers from General Radiotelephone (Single Sideband Sam)
had a very large Tube amp in the back seat of his 1964 Covair with a
Johnson 350, a 2 channel SSB Radio, and a 102 inch whip antenna in the
center of the cars roof. He got out really well. He was on channel 16
and 4 LSB.

I use to monitor channel 15 in the San Fernando Valley in So Cal, use to
hear a lot of Truckers roll by, and there where a few memorable ones
with really loud strong stations in their trucks. Some really impressive.

Was able to talk to a few of the truckers all the way down into Long
Beach at the harbor. So they really had a significant station.

Hello All

This caught my eye. I didn't know they made this type of amps in a mobile
verison!

Looking at the 12 switching transistors on the back of the amp, leaves one
in awe! That had to draw more current than Bolder Dam.
