Show me a ham op that's happy and never gone over the power he is lic
for,
that's the same as driving a car show me a person that has never gone
over
the
speed limit even is its half a K above.

If someone claims they, or someone they know, is totally innocent of the
above, I will show you a liar.........


Well, now, I can say 100% that I have NEVER operated above the power I am
licensed to use. I know that for an absolute fact because I have no sets
capable of doing more than 400W PEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So let's see..

HF set runs 100W max, so that's below my licensed 400W

6 metre set does 10W PEP, so that's well below my licensed 400W

2m set does 50W max, well below my licensed 120W peak allowable on FM.

70cm set does 35W max, again well below my licensed 120W for FM.


Nope, I can definately say, 100% without fibbing, that I have never ran
over
my licensed power levels on the ham bands... Don't have the gear to do
it,
and don't have the need to either. Usually don't even need the full 100W
on
HF so why the hell would I bother with 400W +??????

What a nice man....... I take it all back )

All you need to know is, it's the wire not the watts

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the
morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
