Normally when you buy a used, tube-type kilowatt amplifier you don't
think to ask if it has been used mobile.
I once bought a used (actually VERY used) Drake L4B amplifier that had
been owned by Frank W6HWL "Highway Louie". He had a big old Cadillac
that had been fitted with the extra-large alternator for the towing kit
to support his high-power mobile station. Legend has it that he would
sometimes set overhanging tree branches on fire because of the corona
discharge from the end of the antenna.
Fortunately cars didn't have a lot of electronics in those days.

Has anyone considered the liability of running very high power mobile?
