Okay, not really go to jail but pay a big ($15K) fine.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Was 75 watts a typo on section 4? Guess he thought nobody would notice 75 vs 750. Then again, he probably pissed someone off.
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

What did this idiot not comprehend about not operating over the legal limit. They warned him at least twice to discontinue using the amplifier. They didn;t even threaten to confiscate or fine him the first couple of times. So he continues doing it and now he gets fined. Did he think they were just going to keep warning him forever ?
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
And with the right filing of paperworks and a white suited suthun ah-tour-neh.... It will be dropped to "cant afford it".
Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!
Maybe. But first, I think we should tune the amp to full output power. Demonstrating to him in the process where a PL-259 can make an approximate friction fit.Originally Posted by w3bny
After all, doesn't the term "dummy load" imply "load the dummy"?

The interesting thing about this is where (which frequency) this fellow was operating on, he was not a Super Bowl operator where, 750 watts is just an exciter for the final power stage. This fellow was probably just a local nuisance causing some type of interference to some local service like 911 land line or the Wendy's Drive-Thru.
Within a 1 mile radius of my "QTH", there are three "Kilowatt-PLUS" stations CB operators and one so-called "Tek-nisan" who is running a homebrew 4CX20,000 tube (screen and control grid grounded) which is driven by an 3CX1500 (8877).
The B+ X-former for the 20,000 tube is in the basement of the three story building connected to a 60 amp breaker; the RAW AC output of this transformer is run out of the basement window and up the side of a building where it is then rectified and filtered to provide 8,000 volt unloaded but, which drops to 5,000 under load of the 4CX20,0000 tube. He runs a 5 element "Long John" beam.
Over 5000 volts AC from basement to third floor carried in unshielded 10-2 with ground house wiring. Where is the FCC or, building inspector when you need them?
He can run a 12,000 watt carrier for 15 seconds and then, the breaker in the basement shuts everything down; it is pathetically humorous how, he will be out the screaming for "DX-Land"; make a hook-up and then, drop clean out because the breakers in the basement trip, five minutes later, he's at it again until the breaker blows.

channel 6,11,20 and 26 sometimes 28 are the big power channels

Jeeze, that's scary! One of those guys who knows just enough to be dangerous.
BTW, if Google maps shows your QTH correctly, I've been within a hundred yards of it on I-75 numerous times back in my former life as an OTR truck driver.

Holy Jose Quervo, Batman! I'm surprised that he hasn't grenaded the utility meter on the side of his house. AND running thousands of volts through wire rated for 600 volts max, wow, words escape me.
I concur with N5RLR, natural selection will be stopping by to say hello sometime.
I need a drink after wrapping my brain around that engineering charlie foxtrot.
