Dear Alan,

?

Where in the world have you been?

?

Didn’t you read that along with the

new No Code, No Theory, No Regs

licensing there’s been a lifting of

the power limitations?

?

From 26.0001 through 27.9950 Operators

must limit their Modes of Operation to

A3 only, with a 5MW EIRP. That’s probably

where you mighta heard the number five.

?

(Didn’t < Dub’ya > remark, when told

that two Brazilian soldiers were killed

during conflicts in South America

recently, “I didn’t think we had that

many fighters over there.”)

?

If you’re gonna build some heavy

iron for 11 you’ll need to light up

ten thousand 3-500A’s in parallel,

minimum.? A good 140,000 amp

filament tranny is an easy-peasy

wind. Just put fish paper in between

every hundred winding layers or so.

?

Just remember, Superbowl 2026 coincides

with the national TVI ~ EMI Interference

sweepstakes, and 18MHz is gonna be Jammed!

?

(Pun not intended, of course, we are serious

technicians here.)
