Ed:

You don't understand the reason lots of hams (and others grin) use amps.
It is important to take up as much bandwidth as possible. A dirty amp
assisted by over-modulation is very effective for this. A secondary reason
is so that you will be told "wow, you are 40 over 9." Clearly those reasons
are worth (trying to) taking up the entire phone portion of the band
...right?

Paul AB0SI

p.s. for the irony impaired, I am agreeing with Ed.

Like you, I used the tuner in the rig as a flattener, although the

mismatch
between rig and amp was not enough to worry with anyway.

Why anyone would want to run more than 100 watts on 24 MHz is a mystery to
me. If the band is open, 5 watts will generally do the trick. If the band
isn't open, full legal limit power won't help. Self induced backscatter
doesn't begin until much higher power levels. We won't go there.

Yep, you're right about the Heathkit and other old amps.
