The problem with linears is that there are so many of them, they cover up
all other signals, and of course are in a fight with themselves. If
everyone ran 100 watts, it would only be antennas that made the difference -
beyond props. I am sitting out here in the country side, and could have run
a linear for the past 24 years, but managed 334 countries without one. Not
a whole lot of antennas either, with a tower just up 28 ft for a TH3jr, and
several dipoles strung around.
Look how many of us do a good job with the digital modes, and much less than
100 watts. Also look at 30 meters, where 200 watts is the maximum we are
supposed to run. Amp power is just not necessary, other than to be as loud
or louder than the amp down the road. How many amateurs really know what it
means to run "only the power necessary for communications?" Some think
that means 3 KW everytime they turn the rig on.
