Guys:
 
No, doubt as one of the younger members of this list (43), I do see the value 
at times in questions such as this.
 
While we all know that certain frequencies are limited to way less that 1500 
watts PEP out, what is wrong with someone simply inquiring about the capability 
of their equipment.
 
There are many,many amplifiers out there that will breeze past the "speed 
limit." Simply because one has it does not mean one will abuse it.
 
I would liken this to my other hobby of automobiles. Just because your neighbor 
has a late model Corvette in his driveway, does not mean he goes out and runs 
it up to 180 mph regularly if at all. Would it be appropriate to make that 
assumption?
 
Seems to me that making such judgements without any indication that the said 
action is being done serves no good will, and could come off as the group being 
one that says, "do as we say, but not as we might do if we choose to."
 
If I visit an auto web site and inquire from fellow GP owners at to the top 
speed of my 07 Pontiac Grand Prix with its 260hp supercharged engine, I am 
looking for a simple numerical reply and welcome to the group, not an aloof 
reminder of the speed regulations.
Just because the car will do it does not mean I am going to.
 
Possibly something to keep in mind.                           Don
