    If you were a CB loving Linear Lunatic who enjoyed this illegal stupidity then "DB" would'nt be in your vocabulary!

    Fortunately, I consider myself an Amateur Radio operator who enjoys the radio hobby in a correct fashion.

    And of course the Pope is correct ......... those guys are morons!

    'nuff said ......
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt! :roll:

    This makes me wonder if there is any enforcement by the FCC at all. I mean, these guys don't seem like they are even making the slightest effort to hide.

    Wonder if they'll learn, the day someone is standing too close to one of those arrays and it flashes over? RF burns + arc flash, basically. Not anything I personally would want to experience.

    It appears that at present, the FCC enforcement activity in the Amateur and Citizens Radio services is minimal.

    A lot of people didn't like the job that Riley Hollingsworth did, or at least the way he did it. But at least he DID something, and was TRYING to get things cleaned up. Since he retired, a lot of things have regressed.

    Those dBs are costly but DBs (douche bags) are priceless. It takes a lot of kilovolts to arc like that, at the base it says something's wrong. Speaking of wrong, those alternators below the engine being subject to road spray and dirt tell a similar story of Brainless Bubba.

    If you actually mean db (as in decibels) I highly doubt anyone out on that field understands what a decibel is or the logarithmic ratio it represents or the relationship between power increase versus decibel or "S unit". I consider the contents of that video moronic. These so called "keydowns" are both illegal and are the dumbest things I have ever seen. I suppose there is a lot of fast money riding on these "keydown contests" which provides the incentive for this idiocy. Frankly I could care less how many "DB" was lost due to the sparking.
