Reason number 1
Many of the old amps cleaned up and with a little work can be put to use as a mono band amp.
You would be surprised how many of these old amp`s built 40 years ago are on the ham bands today, and if re-worked properly and do not have the snot driven out of them work just fine.
Some wind up on 6 meters, some on 10 or maybe 12.
Some of them get ripped apart and make a good starting point for some one to build a nice 10-40 amp,,,,if you look at it that way... parts is parts
Reason number 2
We are a little more tolerant of questions about amps here.
If it does go full blown ""I want to run my Amp on 27.025", sooner or later it will get moved down to the General CB section.
The best reason, is in the Definition of what this Forum is all about.
The Worldwide Radio Forum is an online community made up of devoted enthusiasts of the Radio hobbies. Unlike other radio related sites, this Forum is not dedicated to a specific radio service, but instead opens its doors to all radio related activities. All enthusiasts and operators of anything radio related are welcome here, including Amateurs (Hams), CB'ers, and any others. This is NOT the place to publicly pass judgment on other radio operators practices or skills.
That kind of sums it up.
Have a great day.
And if you would like, sign up for the W9WDX radio club at the top of the Forum, and get in on the 10 and 6 meter contest this weekend and have some fun working some of the other members here.
