Perhaps you didn't read the current
USAF, FCC &
ARRL Interference / RF Power Reduction requirements. Any Amateur Radio Stations
located within
140 miles of the three (3)
USAF PAVE PAWS Sites or close to the U.S.
Coastal Boundries and/or Borders are
required
to reduce their
RF Power Output Level to
50 Watts Maximum. This conirms the State of Florida
is required to comply which is too bad for the
Ops living down there.
Apparently you
must
have considered that I'm a new Ham and
not able
to understand the current
FCC Rules & Regulations
related to this hobby. If you looked at my call sign, then you could have easily looked
at my data and found I'm currently located near
Elgin,
Illinois Grid Sq. EN52.
I have been licensed since
October, 1968 roughly
40-years in Ham Radio. Since I'm located 45 air-miles
northwest of downtown Chicago, IL., I think I would qualify for being well over the
140 air-miles from any three (3) of the
USAF PAVE PAWS
installations
but I could be mistaken.
I'm intending to call the local
FCC Commissioner in
Park Ridge, IL on Monday morning August 11, 2008
and confirm or deny the RF Power Limits for Northern, Illinois.
I've been all
over the Internet looking for a website like this one, assuming there are "RF Engineering"
personnel to answer technical questions related to Ham Radio, Land Mobile Radio and/or
Electronic Hardware
but now I question if those
technical people really exist here.
Now
back to my original request, "Does anyone have experience Pro or Con on (HF/VHF/UHF)
Linear LD MOSFET Amplifiers? 73,
