Maybe 30 years ago was assigned for an Army Reserve summer camp to Camp Ripley, MN. Had been active on 160 and phoned one of the big guns living nearby and asked if I could drop by to check out the a
To heck with the tuners, I want to know more about how you were entertained on the front porch by the xyl! Where was the Chaplain during all of this? 73, George George I. Wagner, K5KG Productivity Re
I don't know what all the fuss about re-arranging the shack. In that part of the country it was legal to run a KW . in some parts of the band and during daylight. Some times the sun didn't set until
It's interesting to me how we seemingly think the Italians are the (1) only, or (2) mostly guilty of running power. And even though it's appears to be against most of the rules, we think it's a big j
You right, but perhaps they are just the most egregious example. I mean, I remember reading an article about an Italian M/M effort writeup in NCJ. The author went to great lengths to describe all the
It might not be correct to describe Italians as the most egregious example of running excessive power. Italians are frequently loud, and amplifiers similar to those used by the average DXer are proba
Leigh, SB200s and equivalents are considered fairly small amplifiers in the UK today. A pair of 3-500Zs are fairly standard, but more people are moving over to 3CX800s/4CX800s. I can think of a few g
Might I point out that my intention while writing was not to find fault with the operators in the UK, Canada, etc. My personal views on the use of amplifiers in the countries that do not allow 1500W
"or have had similar power limits in the past" There was a time that the power limits in Canada were significantly lower than the US limits. Note that I am not pointing an acusing finger at Canadians
boy this thread (like so many on this reflector) just never dies! and while ur at it forget about "leveling" the playing field in AR contesting it ain't gonna happen nor can it via rules or their int
Unfortunately this is not the case but it is not known to many hams! 100 W radio uses 200 W pair of transistors which exibit minimum distortion levels at half power output. Spurious transmitter produ
Are they? I mean, if you've crossed the line at 300 watts, why stop at 1.5 kW? Why not go to 3 kW, or 10 kW? After all, if you're breaking the rules, you might as well break them good, right? If Ital
I have been reading the discussion for a while, for my knowledge, and if look through certain webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power all over the world. The reason why stations from I
Well, operating from the east coast, I will say that I've never had my headphone-enclosed ears rattled as much as I have from loud Italian stations. Propagation, power, whatever... 73 Mike N2MG _____

Here in this part of the world Italy is always louder then most other Europe stations. They usually come crashing through any pile we may have. They seem to have propagation to Alaska for 24 hours a
