I would tend to agree, if they kept them clean and on 11m.  Problem is, they 
sometimes splatter all way thru 10m., and many are operating illegally 
inside our band.  Also, the TVI and RFI problems caused by these dirty amps 
are very often blamed on any nearby hams that happen to live in the area.

As long as their signals stay within the confines of "11m" I don't care if 
they let it all hang out.  The FCC created the problem over the objections 
of the amateur community; let them worry about that, instead of something so 
micky-mouse as peak envelope power.  No point in losing sleep over something 
we can do nothing about.

It will do just about as much good as complaining about the hot, nasty, 
humid weather we have in this part of the country in the summer.
