[Amps] urban myth and transmitting tubes

[Jim Hoge]

He was probably thinking triode numbers and ceramic at that. Remember the cb crowd has figured out how to "swing" 15kw from a mobile system with a stock alternator and battery. It must be the new math that allows 13.8 Vdc and 500 A to produce 15kw. Besides Part 15 rules, they regularly break Ohm's law too.

   I was selling some 4-1000A duds as display items for our local radio 
club when a guy came by and started talking about
tubes. Now, this guy did have a ham ticket but not an old  timer. He 
insisted that he knew someone that had a 4-10,000 tube and another person
that had some 4-5000 tubes. I tried to explain to him that it was very 
unlikely and as far as I knew the largest radiation cooled, glass envelope, 
tube
made was probably the 2000T. Are these some CB urban myths or what?
