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

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..

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

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?

The things that make ya go hmmmmm
I was thinking more in terms of "what's the purpose ?"... Okay, so you spend a load of money and get some big assed equipment, stuff it into a vehicle, drive into some parking lot, strap on some big antenna array, rev up, key down and hope that someone hears you over the other guy, and then it's all over. I just don't get it. i don't see any fulfillment. I'd rather have a 100 milliwatt radio and use it to exchange useful information with someone than have 50 killowatts or a lots of Jigawatts just so I can key down...
