Sorry Mal
But that would also tend to suggest that it might be OK for an athlete
to take performance-enhancing chemicals in order to achieve an
"advantage" (your word) over less "advantaged" competitors in the quest
for "DX".
I'm not going to be "holier than thou" on this one but it does cause one
pause for thought in terms of the morality of what is, after all, a
hobby pursuit!

His problem was that he got caught. Throughout the world lots of radio
amateurs are running powers well above those permitted, especially when
you
take antenna gain into consideration.
Big antennas with big gain on the higher freqs is not a crime.
At one stage I had stacked 14, 21, 28 and 50 mcs yagis that gave me a
terrific advantage although my RF did not exceed the permitted power.
eg 400 watts with a 10 dB gain yagi gave me 4 Kw radiated power. I also
have
a NOV issued in 1962 for 1 kw power.
Lots of stns in the USA are generating big erp,s
