There is talk of introducing older equipment but I think that would be dead wrong. People like small and portable. I would get the smallest, high powered stuff available for his shack.

I wouldn't mind owning one of them myself but small and portable is what electronic gadgets are all about.

Giving your HAM radio MORE POWER!!!! Will he have his assistant telling him how not to run things Al Boreland?

I'd love to see an episode where he has noise in his radio, and eventually tracks it down to one of those new light bulbs. That would be a great "PSA" for us interference victims.
