Heh. Yessss . . Reminds me of the time there was a flap in this NG
about that Eimac bottle or one of it's close cousins being used to run
56kW in a Chevvy Suburban truck during CB "shootouts". I tossed the
56kW "mobile" station topic into the thread as post #150 and the thread
went on to 899 posts before it finally died. The thread was "CW =
Engineer ?" circa 1 Sept 98. It's still available.

Back when folk like Carroll, Hare, Tennehill and McCollum populated
this NG and the average IQ hereabouts was 30 points higher than it is
these days.

Sweetums was there too of course tossing out all sorts of his usual
inane blather even back then . . like it wasn't possible to run 56kW in
a Suburban because the coax and antenna would get toasted by all those
amperes worth of RF.

giggle!
