Because I get aroung the world on 100 watts on my icom. I only use my Grant for
local chat, so I don't have to run power.

When I go shopping in walmart, I use maxon 49mhz headsets to communicate
with the wife. I use 5 watt cobra chicken band sets when camping.

I use a 1KW (1.5kw pep) rig for casual world chat.

5KW is just when I get serious ...

The sad part is that 4kw dissipates in your ass...

How many of your high powered linears are already ready for the
10-12-15-17-20+ meter bands?

Think there will be a big influx of truckers to the ham bands, or will
they stay put? According to some hams, there is so much hero worship of
them, you chicken banders are just watering at the mouth to get on
amateur HF's. What do you say?

Dunno, John

All I know is that when I had a problem in the 60s with a high powered am
guy that jumped on my qso, I changed to cw. We contined our chat for a good
45 minutes and couldn't even hear that kilowatt station. Nothing like a
small bandwidth and filters to go along with it. That doesn't mean that the
high power stations can't communicate; it means that they are very unlikely
to bother a couple of cw stations, regardless of power. And the voice is
not spread evenly. You can give a 50 to 1 power advantage away very easily.
Even more, if the cw stations have the proper filtering.

At 40 - 50 words per minute, we weren't giving away much in terms of
communications either LOL

Interesting thing is that cw is legal anywhere in the ham bands ....


73 from Rochester, NY

ps -75 watts buried the guy with the kilowatt plus rig.
Go figure. 200 Hz bandwidth vs 3 KHz. He lost more than a 10 to 1
advantage. Old Mike (W2OY) sure was upset LOL

You, quite obviously, have no education.

Who do you work for, the welfare agency--as a welfare recipient?
Naa, you are too much like my garbage collector ...

Wow, what amazing insights from a code writing wench. Let me guess,
Linux or maybe C++ or god forbid a real basic proffesional.


c/c++ and assembly on the intel platform ...

Mate, seriously, you come into this ng and trash cb operators and brag
you are a s/w engineer. Then your claim of being a c++/assembly writer
is supposed to impress the group. Lackies in India do the same for
pennies on the dollar. What do you use for feedline to your ant?
Regards, Jim.

Jim:

Whether you are impressed or not is no concern of mine. Trash CB'ers?
Naaa mate! My amateur equip covers the cb band quite nicely, don't mind
chatting up truckers at all!

I was just asking you all if you would be joining me on the ham freqs,
now that the CW requirement in the USA is being dropped ...
