Maybe it's time to re-think the power limit? I have a 1500 Watt 
microwave oven that cooks my food. It's nothing special. Why shouldn't 
hams be able to experiment with 10 kW, 25 kW, or even 100 kW amplifiers? 
What's so special about 1500 Watts? There's many things that can be 
learned from attempting higher power levels. As for contesting, add a 
new power class, UHP, for ultra high power.
