Actually just as a matter of minor interest, I have run #6 copper to a 
single 60 amp outlet to power a Henry 8K.  No big deal.  It would be 
interesting to compare the 8K (3CX3000A7) against the OM4000HF with the pair 
of FU-728F's, or possibly 4CX1500's?  Back in the day, the 4CX1500 was a 
drop in replacement for the Collins 30S-1, which then brings up the Alpha 
8410.  Any experts care to make comparison comments?  I'm just an interested 
listener.  Or lurker.  Both terms apply.

And if I may, I've always had tremendous respect for FCC rules and 
regulations, but that said, comparing a gent who has Rhombics facing each 
cardinal direction fed with 1500 watts, compared to some poor soul with a 
dipole running his home brew pair of 4-1000's or even a 3CX10000..... No, 
it is not legal... but when trying to bust the pile-up,  I get it.  Just 
sayin.
