The ERP Blues by W5PFG
They tell me I'm runnin' too much power By golly why did AO-7 switch on me this hour?
If I turn the rig's power dial down real low I reckon the signal still has a place to go.
Between feedline attenuation and antenna gain My ERP still gives enough cause for people to complain.
I've got the E--R--P blues FM'n the linear birds all day and night 'till I blow a fuse.
Love it. Record it.
Is 100 watt ERP good for A0 7?

Excellent indeed! I'm reminded of the fellow who was driving to a hamfest when a wheel fell off his car. He sang, "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Loose Wheel." (With apologies to Kenny Rogers)

Then the instrumental break "LEILA (AO-40)" from Eric Clapton...
"LEILA Got me on the QRP, LEILA I'm beggin' darling please, LEILA Darling won't you ease my ERP?"
