Technical aspects aside, it sounds as though you are trying to put these
extremely overpower, illegal and dangerous CBers a class with those Ham
Radio operators who run between a little to quite a bit over power.

Don't even think of attempting to elevate yourselves by any perceived
similarity.
CBers can legally run 4 watts output , HAMS can run 1500 watts.

ANY amplifier on a CB radio is illegal, while even overkill amplifiers on
HAM radio CAN be operated within legal limits.
Even stretching the limits, a 3DB increase in CB power out is 8 watts, the
same increase in HAM power out is 3000 watts.

There is NO justification for the blatant illegal operation of many CBers
out there.
