You are a man of many talents!!!

A weight

Conversation piece for in the living room or in "the john".

Spare parts!

A place to hide money! (oh, the money was wasted on that illegal linear for
a mud-duck radio!)

Collateral to turn over to the FCC in return for not going to "The Pokey"!

A power source for a vibrator!

I`ve seen linears advertised on Ebay with the warning.."For licensed
amateur radio use only"..My question is..Is there a legitimate legal
use for the typical Class C mobile linear containing 2879`s? (Yes I`m
the same Programbo)

Or a faint light in your shed late at night.

Maybe in -your- crib.

Spare parts!

In case any parts of the other one go bad,,that's an excellent idea..
Highly doubtful, though. Many of the small cheaper mass produced linears
are practically disposable,,,,use them for many years and when they die,
toss them out if the cost goes above 25 bucks to repair. They're cheap
enough.


A place to hide money!

Why, you could fit your life savings in there, but your coins would get
hot.

World-wide mud chicken always gettin' up!

You have a very vivid imagination.


A power source for a vibrator!


That's the type things people think about when they aren't getting laid.

twitlips flips his weener holder some more..hehehe

a linear is illegal if....
1. It takes less than 50 watts to drive it
2. it comes ready to work between 24 and 35 mhz
3. An amateur may build one per year for personal use, but otherwise
any amp that fits the first 2 descriptions is illegal.
