You don't have to be crazy to do this, but it sure helps.

That was nothing. Eric, WB4VVI, (SK) ran a CCA 1000D from one of the highest points in SW VA. He used a home-brew modulator with a pair of 833's. You couldn't get on his phone or near an electrical outlet for that matter until he unkeyed. He had one heaping signal on 160 with that box. I knew he was on the air when I would call down and get his answering machine and hear him coming across it when I got the 'beep'.  Cheesy

Invisible airwaves crackle with life, bright antenna bristle with the energy. Emotional feedback, on timeless wavelength, bearing a gift beyond lights, almost free.... Spirit of Radio/Rush

Yup. There have been more than a few 5 kW BC rigs on the hams bands. That box with four 4-400s is little. Most of the big rigs are multiple cabinets.

It did have a nice looking mod waveform when they got it tuned up. Why don't these guys ever get on when we're working coast-to-coast. I think at least half the west coasters we worked so far this winter were running 100 watts or less.

what they need to do is return to the 1KW input limit for AM and make the slopbuckets measure with PEP.

Looks like a big single section Johnson or BUD Radio to me. They got it licked that's for sure. great scope pattern.
