Are we better off without CB? We have FRS....

I'm wondering how much power it takes to do this

Cincinnati, Ohio August 2010

It's a "Top Secret" whatever was in the near truck (T-Bird / Bluegill), they will not allow you near it; windows tinted purple, Suburban hauled to the event on a flatbed then offloaded at the venue. They shoot out for the money and then load the Suburban back on the flatbed. Has 12 Leece-Neville (or ElectroDyne) Alternators

Small-Driver (in the decorated Suburban) was running two 3cx-20,000 tubes ( only 10 alternators) and, was doing well over 50 Kilowatts (for 15 seconds signaled by surplus Traffic Light off screen).

At the 37 second point, there is a fellow in a white Tee-Shirt (with yellow insignia) standing between the the two Suburbans; that's "Half Pint".

I was really wondering about RF power but you bring up a good point actually...

3CX5000, 3CX10,000 and 3CX20,000

While I agree it's incredibly stupid to run that much power especially that close to ones self and others..

Yup

But you kind of wonder, this person has to have some smarts to be able to set up such a system and not kill themselves even on accident... So I sometimes wonder about their level of intelligence when I see stuff like that.. I wouldn't even want to be where the camera person is or within probably a mile of that place if I knew what was going on hahaha

Engineering Smarts

I wonder does this person possess the ability to build such a system capable of such power? If so then how do they not know what is really going on with those levels of RF power..

Experience

Do they just simply have lots of money to buy stuff pre built and just got lucky not killing themselves with it installing it?

Most have the money, there are no "Pre-Built" appliances, they are custom order or you build it yourself.

Or do they just have so much money that they paid someone else a pile of money to buy, build, and install everything for that person and it's just a matter of time before they take the cover off of one of those amplifiers and an effect similar to a squirrel touching more than one lead across a transformer happens when they touch the wrong part?

Three weeks back, a CB'er (Unit 502, Middletown, Ohio) Stuck his hand in the wrong place, killed him dead; the wife was severely injured at the breaker box from the unapproved 220v circuit run.

The things that make ya go hmmmmm

The things that make ya go "unh-unh!" :shock:
