Really??
I would like to hear from any amateur radio operator licensed for the
majority of their lives, who will lend support to Chris's "facts:. If
you have been exposed to high power amplifiers for the major portion if
your Amateur Radio Career, better yet. Or, how about Broadcast Radio
and/or Television RF engineers/technicians? (I would prefer someone NOT
looking for a retirement funded by positive test findings)
Think of this, One way to gain control of a populace, generally regarded
as benign or even beneficial to society at large, is to "create" a
problem that then needs to be controlled. For the benefit of the
majority, of course. One way to do this is to pass a ridiculous
restriction (50 W), and then enforce that restriction by making
perpetrators, criminal.
Why would someone want to do this?? Frequencies are becoming valuable
resource generators, but only if they are controlled by people in a
stance positioned to profit from the control.
Off topic, therefore my only post.
