[Amps] Henry 8K

[Harold Mandel]

Where are those ubiquitous OO's when we really need them?

Rich, care to comment (ahem)?

Does anyone even remember those people?
They would have been right at home in the Soviet Union
in the 1930's. The trouble is the targeted offender got more
than a little orange card in the mail.

(My last one was because I drifted Ø.25Kc. into the 4.00Mc
 broadcast band with my upside-down 4x 6L6 rig in a tub of
 cooking oil.)

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.

Bill, W6WRT
