   I ran into one of those guys last summer, not just one but two antenna's   
   as described. I chatted with him a bit and found out he was running a   
   10KW CB rig. I was incredulous until he popped open the hood to show me   
   the 5 alternators running off the engine to power it. The engine was   
   also modified to kick up the idle when the rig was one so it wouldn't   
   stall when keyed up.   
      
   I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the FCC has completely   
   given up enforcement on the CB bands.
