Nobody cares what tubes you run. My comment was about exceeding the 
legal power limit. Human nature being what it is, I'm sure lots of 
folks "brag" about their humongous amplifiers, etc, etc, and as long 
as it's just fisherman's stories, I couldn't care less.

An actual 10 dB violation of the 1500 watt limit is something else, 
however. Any ham who has personal, definitive knowledge of such a 
violation has an obligation to report it. One of the reasons we hams 
have so much freedom to design and build our own equipment is that we 
are and always  have been self-policing. I'd like to keep it that way.
