[Amps] who needs it? Henry 8K

[Brass Pounder]

This is exactly where the Amateur Radio is heading:

5W transceiver, dipole antenna. In every city on every continent. TCVR is 
connected to Internet and everybody has access to it. Number of users is 
unlimited. No need in propagation, forget about solar spots...
Everybody hears everybody.
A guy (gal), working from small appartment can be a winner of any contest, 
if his (her) computer is powerful enough...

73!
