Unfortunately,
many of your fellow amateurs don't hold the rules in nearly as high

Anything over 5W to the ex CBers sounds like 5KW...

Hi Ron
Ever heard of Gator Stakes? Same as Free Band, hi hi.

Well... there have been a few documented cases of individuals
who have been running extremely high power (ie 5 kW). While I do not
recall all the details, I do remember hearing a speech from a very prominent FCC
attorney indicating that they had indeed busted someone running that much power,
Incidently, there was someone at Hamvention last Spring who was handing out
flyers to everyone in the HARA ice rink grandstand (and probably elsewhere too)
advertising an HF amplifier... I don't want to name the company, but the call of
the owner starts with the letter "I"... theoretically
Big AL and NUKEM! :-) Haven't heard those calls in a while. I also
know another ham that has an 8K sitting in a closet, or at least he did
the last time I asked about it, but he still had never plugged it in.
Those things weigh a TON!
Don't think the BIG amps aren't out there. I saw with my
At the risk of being boiled in oil for the following let me preface this by
saying I don't support the Freeband operations/concept etc. etc.
Everyone keeps saying these operations/operators are illegal. If the
licensing authority of the host country does not deem it illegal then it
would seem
I saw many posts saying it is impossible to run 5 kw on 240 single phase service. An electric range in the kitchen pulls more power than that. I am going out on a limb and name two hams who have admitted they used to run Henry 8 K amps. One drove it with a GLA 1000 dentron and the other drove it
Not really, and you answered this yourself. 22.72 amps! Of course, you would
be using the same type of circuit as for your electric clothes dryer. If
you use a double-oven you might even be using a 50 amp circuit. No need for
three-phase.
