** the max speed limit is 1500W, +10%, so we get the benefit of the
doubt. A semi-friend of mine (K6KZI) had a BTI which produced c. 1680w
pep for the FCC, and he was not cited. For years, the FCC reportedly had
numerous complaints that I was running 14k out on 40m in the daytime.
However, most probably because they realized that I was using it when
needed to cause embassassing interference to jammers with less suds, the
FCC never bothered to make the 50-minute drive out here from Long Beach.
