Yeah, what I am smokin' is great, want some?
Smoke another one john.
Try as you might,even if you could claim fame to all that knowledge WHY would you want to waste it on the resources required to put a asstard station like that on the air in the 1st place??
I'm not going to sit here and spout off about all my previous years and experience as a technician because frankly it doesn't matter. What DOES matter is that you want to add your drama to an otherwise pointless and ILLEGAL activity anyway!
The only thing you have said that's correct,is that I am a tech level licensee. I am happy being only a technician because I ALREADY HAVE all the privleges I desire,because I don't LIKE the hf bands!
Most of the hf bands sound so much like cb,that my decision to upgrade was soured long ago by people who THOUGHT much like you and knew even less! Read a book doofus!

For one thing, John, you are the one that is high. The only thing that I tried to tell you was that such stations are out there, nothing more. You, took it to the next level. Another thing, if you would have read what I had wrote in my previous posts, you would have seen that I don't engage in such activity anymore; I guess that you need to take a remedial reading class, so that you may improve your reading comprehension and have a retention of the facts that were laid out for you in plain English.
Like, I said, and I will reiterate the fact for you: there are many 15kw-20kw stations that operate on any day that there is skip. Again, I have seen many of these stations with my own eyes; Bird watt meter certified. Look on You Tube, John, you can see many of them in action. Where I am from (Battle Creek, MI), there were many 1kw amps on the air. I don’t know anybody that ran barefoot. I know that this is falling on deaf ears anyway, John, but I just have a problem when people talk about something that they don’t know about. If you would have understood what I was telling you in the first place, this would not have went this far. You just want to tell me that I am wrong, when I know for a fact that I am right!
I do agree with you on one point, John; some people put ridiculous amounts of money into it. As far as resources put into my old mobile station: I only gave $400 for my big amp and my driver amp only cost me the parts (around $50), as I am the one that built it. My radio was a Galaxy 88 that I was given because it wouldn’t transmit -- one 2SC1969 and I was back in business. My alternator mod for my Geo Metro only cost me $75 (amazing what you can do with a MIG), my capacitors were only $40, and an extra battery cost me $50. So, no, I did not spend very much money. Heck, I paid more than that for my Yaesu FT-857D that I run in my mobile, and my Kenwood TS-2000 cost 3X that.
I don’t see how you think that HF is like CB! I have seen more BS on VHF FM than I have ever heard on HF. I operate mainly on 75m and I have only had a couple of encounters with buttheads in nearly 10 years. I don’t care where you operate, you are going to encounter trouble of some sort. I operate all bands, John. I like to talk to people, so I use whatever band I need to accomplish this.
The interesting thing, is that you are insulting CBers in general on a forum with a bunch of them! Who is the doofus? That would be you, John, as you are the one bragging about being a snitch, you don’t want to listen to somebody who has been there, which you also want to be cocky about something that you don’t have a clue about! You want to talk about how it is pointless, then why do you want to run your mouth about it? I am not trying to add drama, John. I just don’t want people filled with misinformation from somebody that has never dealt with the subject. If it wasn’t for your thinking that these big amps don’t exist, I would not have said a word. You could have bragged all you wanted to about turning people in. Still, I would have kept quiet. However, once I see something that is completely false, I am going to say something. Once I said something, you had to run off at the mouth telling me that I was wrong, when you have no experience in this area whatsoever.
True, there are people on the CB that claim to have really big amps, when they don’t. However, the big stations on channel 6, 11, and 26 are telling the truth when they say they have 10kw+ amplifiers. This is the only thing that I was trying to pound into your stubborn brain, John. It just peeves me, John, when I am confronted with a cocky attitude from somebody that wants to preach misinformation. To some, this may seem trivial. This is one of the things that I see wrong with society. That is, misinformation is allowed to continue, since it may hurt someone’s feelings. I am not one of them, John, if you are wrong and I have experience in that area, I will say something. I don’t care how trivial it may seem.
Oh, and somebody else made a point. If you don't like HF, what in the Hell are you doing on a thread that is dealing with those topics. I am here because I like to see if there is something to learn, or to help people that are looking to learn.
Oh and learn how to spell, John: "I am happy being only a technician because I ALREADY HAVE all the [SIC] privleges I desire,because I don't LIKE the hf bands!" That is spelled "privileges." And put a space after a comma, for one it is hard to read, for another it is proper English.
In closing, John, I will reiterate the points for you again:
1: These multi-KW amps operate daily!
2: I have seen and operated them personally!
3: I did not spend very much money playing that game!
4: I don’t play around with this stuff anymore! (this is the one that you seem to miss)
5: I know what I am talking about!
6: Trivial subjects aren’t trivial if the person is spreading misinformation!
7: Nobody likes a snitch!
I think that about covers it.
