Paul:  Surely you remember the California Kw days?  Me thinks they have 
not left us.  When was the last time someone was cited by the FCC for 
excess power, or even visited after FS readings taken?

For some winning is all that matters, rules and regulations are not in 
the cards for these folks.  It has always been with us, I suspect it 
always will.  I like headroom, but my output monitor trips the amp off 
at 1475 watts.  I can look at myself in the mirror when shaving and not 
see a cheater. 

Listen on 10.1 when a rare one is on.  I run a high gain antenna on that 
band and get stomped often by the guys who forget the limit is a few 
hundred watts, not 3 Kw.  Oh and many of em can't even copy their own 
calls coming back to them. Sad. We could blame the 55 speed limit, but 
it was happening long before that idiotic law.  73 bob de w9ge
