Have done the first three with 500 or less, the last one, I wait on them to
drink themselves to death or work on their amps while inebriated. Cleans the
gene pool that way. If the guy runs it legal, no problem, I just don't see
the reason to run more than is needed. My last post on the subject. I do
plan on running 1500 watts PEP out on AM, but not during peak hours of ham
activity. Happy New Year,y'all.
