[Amps] Impressive solid-state 1.5 kW amp

[Kevin Stover]

He's also the founder and developer of the AN Wireless line of self 
supporting towers.
Nobody can argue the quality of those towers, period. This is a start up 
and we should probably cut them some slack.
A 1.5KW, brick on the key, 10:1, auto-tuner is going to cost north of 
$1K whether it's internal or external.
The devices are rated for 300W output from 1 - 150MHz so I don't 
understand the power drop on 6m.
