To devote so much space to the "freeband" matter is of questionable value.
The "Freebanders" must be jumping up and down with glee at the attention
they are getting.
Cant we confine ourselves to legitimate amateur radio DXCC issues?

What I can't understand is why any licensed amateur would WANT to operate
freeband? Perhaps some of the Chesterfield or Sable Island crew can explain?

I would recommend that the DXAC simply apply DXCC rule 12,
specifically 12c:

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.

Well put, Tom.
To run 5KW Output you would need 8KW input...well beyond the
normal single phase service to the average ham shack.

statement without any facts to back it up.

Running 5KW from the average residential place might be hard to do. Normally to run this type of power you need three-phase primary power and this is usually not available in residential areas --- in fact it is often hard to obtain in light-industrial areas.
Figure it out for yourself,

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

Really? I must be living in a jaded area. I live in the greater Lansing
Michigan area and I have been to many shacks and several contest stations
and have not seen such power present.

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

likes.

I'm really struggling with this discussion and the amount of
verbiage involved. Illegal means against the law; period.
It's a lot like pregnant. Either you are, or you aren't. If you are
operating illegally on or off the ham bands, your butt belongs in
jail.

They know what they're doing is illegal and they don't care that it's

During the CY0MM DXpedition, there was a little flap here 'n' there about
the "Sugar Delta" web pages of the so-called "freebanders."
Many were unhappy with any potential illegal operation that could impact on
amateur radio, which is to be expected. Some of the comments made got,
