[Boatanchors] 11 meter amps ?

[J. Dave Mayfield]

Years ago, My Dad, Brother and myself were flying our first RC plane, it 
too was on 27mc, all of a sudden the plane went into a nose dive going 
like a bat out of hell, and crashed right between two parked cars, at 
this same time we saw a guy in a van driving by with a 102 inch whip on 
the bumper and the mic in his hand! we knew what had happened.
