[Boatanchors] 11 meter amps ?

[Richard W. Solomon]

Many moons ago, one of the locals took his kid to a model airplane
fest. All the other kids used 27 Mc R/C while his kid (who was
licensed) used 2 Meters for R/C.
While he waited, he decided to fire up the mobile and made several
Q's on 11 Meters. You can imagine the results !! Junior won.
