If we abstract the rules issue prohibiting more than 1.5kw out, why is it OK
to build big antennas but it is not OK to build big Amplifiers? What if the
logic behind the fact that the only restriction as far as equipment is
concerned only applies to Amplifiers?
........because the regulations of most countries limit operators to only 1.5 
KW.  There are no limititations at the federal level giverning gain of the 
antennas for hams for HF at least.  Illegal vs legal...simple!
