Tod,

I get it , and I did it a lot, running 1300 watts I replaced the garage
door opener three times and and the fan board in our AC/Heater fan board at
least once and countless other electronic devices . When the tech would say
"I've never seen this before" I would get the "look" from my wife and I
knew I was responsible. Don't get me wrong I applaud your innovation to
push the envelope, ham radio has evolved and will keep evolving. From my
simple station on the west coast I've hit the other side of the word and
that's more than I thought I could ever do. I'm a VE for the ARRL  so I can
give something back to a hobby that has given me so much to me. For now I
run 200 watts into a modified Mark V into a G5RV and a GAP Titan and that's
good enough for me to play around with.
