About ten years ago I was using a Johnson Messenger 10 Meter transceiver in
the 10-M AM window, crystaled for 29.030MHz. I had a heck of a time (before
eBay) trying to find an old amp to use with the radio. I ended up building
my own sweep tube amp from a schematic I got years ago at AES in Milwaukee.

So, yes... I built an amp with 5-watt rated input for use on the 10M amateur
band. ....and, it worked well. A pair of sweeptubes in grounded grid with
a 6AQ5 keying tube.

BTW, back in 1971 anyone could walk into Amateur Electronic Supply, walk up
to the counter and get a copy of the plans/schematic for the amp I built.
The sales guys would then direct you to the parts bins to get the necessary
parts to build it. All the hams in Milwaukee knew what was going on there.
AES made a killing in the CB trade for decades.

Just some random thoughts on CB amps.

And what about all those 10 meter rigs converted form the HyGain CB boards?
You don't think they put out 5 watts?

When I said nobody built and amp. I meant no manufacturer , CB radios were limited to 5 watts input , do good to put out 3 watts..Any amplifier that can be used on CB band is ILLEGAL.. Period... Show me where a legitimate manufacturer produced an amplifier with 5 watts input on ten meters..It is still a CB amplifier... No matter what you call it... Period.. W4PQW

So what is your point?

Hams can convert anything they want to convert as long as they do so within
their license limits. 10 meters is.

And we ought to be out there when we are driving to work, school, errands
recording the activity of the unlicensed truckers who bootleg on 10 meters,
too. Riley still is interested in lettering these companies.

Are they? They can stop off at the truck stop in Breezewood PA, where there
is a huge billboard exhorting you to stop off at their CB shop "when you
are ready for a BIG radio." And there's the guy at the CB shop on rt. 95
out of Richmond with a tape loop that comes on the air every fifteen minutes
advertising their services... I can hear their third harmonic down here
nearly a hundred miles away.

I can't believe that the FCC cares about any rules enforcement at all any
more. They're too busy worrying about obscenity on television to bother
actually doing anything about actual misuse or technical standards.
