About ten years ago I was using a Johnson Messenger 10 Meter transceiver in
the 10-M AM window, crystaled for 29.030MHz. I had a heck of a time (before
eBay) trying to find an old amp to use with the radio. I ended up building
my own sweep tube amp from a schematic I got years ago at AES in Milwaukee.

So, yes... I built an amp with 5-watt rated input for use on the 10M amateur
band. ....and, it worked well. A pair of sweeptubes in grounded grid with
a 6AQ5 keying tube.

BTW, back in 1971 anyone could walk into Amateur Electronic Supply, walk up
to the counter and get a copy of the plans/schematic for the amp I built.
The sales guys would then direct you to the parts bins to get the necessary
parts to build it. All the hams in Milwaukee knew what was going on there.
AES made a killing in the CB trade for decades.

Just some random thoughts on CB amps.

Nobody ever built a ten meter amplifier with 5 watts input.This is CB
Radio Amp.100% .. If you guys MUST practice this "BOOTLEGGING" please
leave Ham Radio out of it ..You are using Ham Radio to try and justify
your illegal activity and I resent it.. HAMS, WE MUST START POLICING
OUR RADIO ACTIVITES OR LOOSE OUR PRIVILEGES,, Then we would have to
BOOTLEG, Heaven forbid..W4PQW since 1948
