For a mid-UHF fractal antenna, what kind of power can be used to
transmit, 100 watts, 1000 watts, 10,000 watts...?

I've had such antennas at very high QRO, but not for ham use.

Some designs, as with antennas in general, will arc at very high voltages.
Others will not.

It takes experience to pick the design that deals with the specs, including a
HV spec.

That's a commercial issue and beyond the scope of this NG.

Fractal antennas are a myth.

I have yet to see one in QST or at the very least e-Bay®.

E-bay:If your'e waiting for liquidation stock, good luck: be a lo-oooooong

Who sells them? "Commercial" indicates that such antennas are in production
and being offered for sale.

Look in the yellow pages under heating elements.

Yes. Drop me an e-mail and I'll be happy to provide details.

Hit or myth, they still bring in the discussion.

No need. Not in this forum.
