Well, I went to the "Train Built" site and couldn't find anything about 
3CX3000s.  But the guy does display some impressive high power stuff.  I 
noticed that on one page they called it "broadcast amps" and "Be sure to 
follow the FCC rules" was also posted.  With today's legal climate it 
seems like a disclaimer is all you need.

And let's face it, CBers aren't the only ones running above their legal 
power limit.....

And hey, on the "Train Built" page he had a link to a DX resource page 
which actually looks pretty cool.

But yes I'd agree: It is dancing on the edge of criminality.  To brag 
about the 8KW amp you have in your Surburban has got to get you in some 
sort of hot water! 

73,
