Like you, I'm just an observer in all this, but it appears that Phil
Kane (the gentleman to whom "Mr. Smith" was lecturing) must have been
referring to the practice of using a 5 KW amp at its rated output on
the ham bands as being unlawful. You probably remember Phil from
r.r.a.p. He made his living as a practicing communications attorney
IIRC.

Jim, I can possibly help clarify the situation, at this point.

The "gentleman" who took, apparently/NSHPO, responsibility for the
censorship was Paul Schleck/K3FU (none other than a major player in the
arrl wannabe political league) ... and, in my NSHPO, was stepping up to
assist a friend (aiding an accomplice would just be too harsh of
language) ...

You're too modest, "John". I've included a couple of your quotes for
balance.

When I go shopping in walmart, I use maxon 49mhz headsets to communicate
with the wife. I use 5 watt cobra chicken band sets when camping.

I use a 1KW (1.5kw pep) rig for casual world chat.

5KW is just when I get serious ...

Jim:

Whether you are impressed or not is no concern of mine. Trash CB'ers?
Naaa mate! My amateur equip covers the cb band quite nicely, don't mind
chatting up truckers at all!

I was just asking you all if you would be joining me on the ham freqs,
now that the CW requirement in the USA is being dropped ...

If one is smart enough to call it an "amateur amplifier" don't they let it
be sold? Certainly every cb'er in the world is smart enough to know an
amateur linear can be used on 11 meters with very little modification...
Also, check out pages on russian linears, they have 3.5KW rigs which are
very affordable... a friend going/living in canada can possibly grab one
for you easily too... there are many ways around any roadblock they can
throw up--retired engineers routinely build linears in their garages for
"beer money."

Warmest regards,
John

Here is a guy which can help you out, or you can at least get ideas from his
page...

A good 4KW to 5KW russian tube in a homebrew linear is just the ticket,
especially if you just "idle" the tube at a 3.5 KW input... last you a
lifetime and all the power you will ever need... someone should set up a
home business building them...

I have a single russian tube (two tube in push-pull driving it--in the
amp) which is outputting approx. 4.5KW... can you imagine what the
transistor (mosfet) amp which could match it would look like--or cost!!!!

Warmest regards,
John

I'm certain that you're honest as the day is long and would never
consider running illegal power.
