They're pretty happy like that. Efficiency isn't that great but I'm used to seeing stuff like this done for DTV broadcast amps where they just have to be absurdly linear. I love that metering system you're using

I still think you should throw down some "educational" videos with tips and tricks you picked up over the years. I know lots of people would be interested. That's why so many people watch BBI.

Evening Prime my brother. I wanna start by apologizing for the length of this “note” because it’s morphed in to a novella because my 16&13yr old daughters were feeding me the message to send you 😂 ,I’ve been a big fan of yours for many,many many years. Since the first time I caught you when the skip was running hot&heavy,I heard your call sign and and figured what the hell so I called for you even tho I figured there was no way in hell that I was gonna make the trip from Maryland to Washington State. I keyed my old courier centurion 40d that was late 70s/early 80s pimped to the max 😂 It had a Yeasu VFO/digiscan retrofitted,every freq imaginable.talkback,browning pinger keytone,Roger beep,echo board and she was hot a hot rod too,would do about 50w wide open but I usually ran her low and let the old girl swing the old Maco Super 300 5 tuber I was running at the time like Tarzan chasing Jane 😂 So my 19yr old ass calls for Prime Minister Prime Minister Prime Minister how bout that Prime Minister 770 770 770 770 RatchetJaw 45 miles west of Baltimore Maryland and we trying break break break. Never thought I’d get out over the local bucket lips that were just cutting everything and everyone down then I heard your relays and they was gone and I heard 770 770 around Western Maryland you made the trip to the evergreen brother. And that was what hooked me for many many years untill I moved from Maryland to Spokane Wa and sold my base station as well as my mobile sadly. 17yrs,wife #3 and 4 daughters later we are back on the east coast and my 4yr old daughter was watching some video gates,listening to your CB songs and casually looking at the radio shop websites and amp/antenna builders. My 4yr olds name is Lilly and she absolutely loves you brother and she wants me to put a mobile together so she can talk to you 😂 I still have one of the pair of55 R6s that Mr.Terry built for me long time ago when I was running a bounce back setup on my Cummins swapped Ford excursion with a President JFK II driving straight 4 pill 2878 NoName in a bigger case driving a worn out straight 16 pill that started as a 24pill davemade from eBay and thanks to my buddy smokedog and a bunch of help from the forums he was able to rebuild that garbage 24pill in to a surprisingly decent 16 in the big case. Sh!t i thought I was a big strapper fosho brother 😂 Even as worn out and pieced together with parts and a prayer I wish I still had all my old stuff. My girls really want me to get back in to it,my oldest 2 are old enough to remember those days but my 4.5yr old just don’t understand that even tho my legs and back is mostly healed from getting tboned by a drunk driver April of 2019 that daddy hasn’t had a job since then and not for lack of trying. Sadly I’ll probably never get to be a medium sized mudduck in a big pond again but I can still put a little mobile together and hopefully have fun with my girls. My oldest 2 wants a SkullCracker straight 8 pill,and I gotta admit that I’ve always wanted one of your DC boxes Prime. I know it would be grossly out of my reach but if a man wanted say a straight 6 skullcracker what would a ball park figure be? Lots of respect and love from my family to yours Mr.Prime Minister. 770 Md RatchetJaw(me)Mighty Mousie(18mo) CrazyCatLady(4.5yr),TinyDancer(16)MamaBear(my wife) and last but not least the 13yr old silver tongued devil “MauldroppinMonkey” we readin the mail ratchetjaw 770md over here in the Cumberland Valley 40miles west of Baltimore Md and I just got down!!

Ham operators used to build stuff, the ARRL would publish articles on how to build stuff, but now the ARRL is killing the hobby, leaving construction to folks like you with CB and Freebanders having their fun and doing their thing. The ARRL's primary ham mag, QST, is nothing more than a shill for 4 and 5 digit price radios from Japan, and knockoffs from China, and how to hook a computer to your radio so they can make all the contacts while you clip stock couples I guess. Keep on doing stuff like this, hobbyists need inspiration.
