Heh... Well, I was considering operation at 100 watts carrier, 400 watts
modulated. I doubt my tubes, PS and other tender components would
tolerate 1500 watts carrier and 6KW PEP long enough for the FCC to even
be a factor. It would be more like the "FD", as in Fire Department. ;-)
Now you've done it, though... I'll be trying to get to sleep tonight
around unbidden thoughts of building 4x or 6x GS35B's, or something...
A little more seriously, my comments about duty cycle were geared more
toward my suspicions about the SB1000 cooling system, or lack thereof.
