  25k pep Out from a pair of 3cx3000A7s is a stretch.  25k In is not.
-  The last CBer I talked to about amplifier design issues was building 
a 4cx15,000A in AB1, a tube that will do 25k pep out without doubt.

  Bird meters can also be tweaked.  Some folks tell the truth and some 
do not.  I have run into people who seem to feel superior by convincing 
others that something which is not true, is true.  Based on 
conversations with a Ham friend who sold cars to make a living, I think 
there are car and truck salesmen who do this.  According to my friend, 
salesmen compete with each other to pull off the most delightsome scam.
