[Amps] A few nice ones on Ebay

[DAVE WHITE]

".. the 12-10m  portion of the spectrum  is a complete right (sic) off."

Well at least someone's using it.  That way the government can't sell it off to their crooked friends.

Who knows, some of those CBers may decide that they're niterested enough to make the move to licensed Ham Radio, just as they did in the early 1980s in the UK?  And since Ham Radio afficionados are progressively getting older and departing this world that's GOOD, right?

An illegal mono band amp. Are you proud of that?

## NO No Bill... you got it all wrong.    It's actually a 10m / 12m monoband amp..
that just happens to work on 11m... and got into the wrong hands. 

##  The entire 11m band  +  'freeband'  has been a basket case  since 1974.  Just be 
glad they are not running rampant on 20m.   What's next.. the war on 11m ops ? 
You may as well declare war on the WX.   You can thank ARRL product review
on the 150w  ranger 10/12m xcvr.  The lab praised it's great attributes.. and.. 'inovative
thinking'.... like including LSB on it... so 'one could use RTTY' !.  It doesn't even
have a key jack.. so it's useless  for cw.  That radio went on to be the biggest  11m
xcvr ever sold.  In typ 12m fashion.. it has lousy TX imd.   Now the 11m ops are on
25-29 mhz.   I gave up on 10/12 m yrs ago.... esp with 11m ops all across the bottom
end of 10m band.   If they had just stayed below 28.0... everything would have been
fine.   The fellows between  27.405... and 27.999   never bothered anybody.. including
legit 11m ops,,, or 10m ops.  

##  Now that the league has endorsed a xcvr that cover's 24.890 to 30 mhz.... and
both sidebands.. and AM /FM.... the 12-10m  portion of the spectrum  is a complete
right off. 

later........ Jim   VE7RF
