Although recently transplanted to NV, and really happy, I am a
California Native, I did my childhood and teenager duties there, I
graduated Cal Poly in Math there, and, after some travel thanks to the
US Military, spent the last 40+ years in NorCal. I got my first ham
ticket there in 1953, and I take great umbrage at the term "California
Kilowatt."
I knew a couple of those guys, I saw their stations, one even let me
operate when I was maybe 15, and it was nowhere close to 1,000 watts.
Only exceeded when I got to work a little coastal marine at 5 KW.
Some terms just understate what the former generation could bring off
... illegally. [:-)
