[Amps] 12 KW CCS ON 160-15M....USING THE 3CX-6000A7..... PART 20

[Steve Bookout]

Hello Mark,

I'm pretty sure I heard him say that this was his 'personal amp'.

I've built my share of high power amps, which could exceed the FCC 
limits, but I don't.

Decades ago, someone once told me 'Integrity is what you do when no one 
is looking', and I think it's really a good definition.

The amp builder/owner of this amp seems to be building a really solid 
amp.  What he does with it, is his business, not mine.
