I'd like to STRESS the use of these amplifiers IS illegal UNLESS your
life is threatened. They must be left OFF or disconnected until there
is a real emergency. But, international radio laws all go out the
window when lives are in danger. Then, you can blast 'em if you're
able....ON ANY FREQUENCY YOU CAN GET ON, including the ham bands on HF
in an emergency. Many boaters I meet do not understand that. There
sits their HF SSB radios and they don't know how to get it
transmitting on the ham bands for those dire emergencies. That's a
shame.....

I meant what I said about reducing marinas to 1 watt at 20 ft. That
would clear a lot of interference on 16, not to mention 68, 69, 71,
72...some of which are ship-to-ship frequencies THEY are not supposed
to be using.

Aren't those a bit pricey?

3600 planes with transponders are burning 8-10 million
gallons of kerosene per hour over the USA. R-12 car air
conditioners are responsible for the ozone hole, right?
