[Amps] Re "illegal" amplifiers

[donroden at hiwaay.net]

To quote a famous ham / musician :
"My Maserati does 185
I lost my license... Now I can't drive"

My thoughts... The "Big Guns" do us all a big favor. They work the DX 
early on in the dxpedition and then get quiet.    The 1KW guys call and 
call and call .... creating more interference than the "Big Guns".
