Hi I need to know how mutch wire 14 gauge can transmit by watts from hf on my base yaesu ft897



14 gauge wire for an antenna will take much more power than legal in any
amateur radio.

The 14 wire will take over 1500 watts easy.

Any wire that is strog enough to support its self will transmit over 100
watts.
