Neither do I see a problem.  Fact is, by this time next year 
I expect to see a water cooled solid state amplifier available 
at Dayton.  There should be some 120 - 200 volt transistors 
available at a reasonable price per watt by then the problem 
will be keeping them cool with a typical heatsink/fan.  A 
water cooled substrate (copper block) with a small closed loop 
system would make for a very nice package.  

I hope we see some 1500 Watt (CW) output 100% duty cycle solid 
state amps (4 transistors) at reasonable prices (competitive 
with the Ameritron, TenTec, Commander, etc.) within the next 
two or three years.
