Well, that's 50 watts, effective radiated power. For
a 100-watt backpack, I would estimate that at least
50 watts would be dissipated in the "antenna mount".

Whoever can shout the loudest wins? Seems this test is
far too subjective.

It's an end-to-end system test. Efficient antenna AND
rachet-jawed operator.

Hi Jim,
That's what I get for speed reading. Sounds like 5 MHz
will be an ideal mobile band. If my mobile antenna is 10%
efficient, I can just run my SGC-500 watt amp and radiate
as much power as anyone else on the band.

It's an end-to-end system test. Efficient antenna AND
rachet-jawed operator.
