No you don't. At worst you need to put a wattmeter in the transmission
line, and maybe a neon-orange sign reading "Observe the power limits of your
operators license." with an arrow pointing to the "Pwr" knob on the radio.

At worst......

So we operate class one while operating 50 watts. Another bump.

All this is not insurmountable, but far reaching.

Maybe not!

If Hans' "no expiration date" Class A is adopted by FCC, they *won't*
give away your call sign unless somebody proves to FCC that you're
really, truly, stone cold dead. Probably require a close family member
to send in the papers - and if you've left instructions not to, your
survivors could keep your call out of circulation for a long time.

Aren't GROLs issued "for life"? If so, there's your precedent for a
non-expiring FCC license.....

bwaahaahaaa!

Did you not realize that particular consequence of the non-expiring Class A,
Hans?

Never thought about that. What happens to my GROL when I become a SK? How
would they know?

A GROL has no expiration date and the serial number is never
reissued anyhow. Your ghost/incarnation/whatever will retain the
operating privileges. It may do a better job of operating than
several allegedly "live" commercial operators that I have run
across.
