Man!  If those guys would put their energy, money and expertise toward a
legal hobby like Amateur Radio it would sure be great!  Unfortunately, the
ones I have rubbed shoulders with through the years seem to like the
outlaw status illegal CB brings.  To each his own.

Who says you can't run a kW AM Mobile?

 Some -non-filtered- amps are getting 350w out of the same pair. 
 I figure 8, with proper filtering is 400~500w (conservatively) and 
 with 25w of drive, should make for some fairly decent sounding 
 AM, from a properly adjusted rice-box.

350W ? No...  Eight of those will give you 1200 watts 
(in CB speak! - grin)

well... if a pair on SSB gives around 350 on 75m, then (4) should 
deliver around 700, right?  (8) would be 1400, and now we're talking 
perhaps getting an easy 125 to 150w of carrier out of the thing, and 
being able to fully modulate it, with some room for transients in the audio.


Still, solid state devices -must- come with some sort of tuned output, 
otherwise the parasites generated from the even harmonics will eat the 
amp alive.
