John,

So, say I had a CW oscillator on the colorburst frequency. I'll shunt
the output
with a 50 ohm resistor to ground. I'll put a random wire at the top of
the
resistor.

Basic equations yield P = (EE) / R

If R is 50 Ohms and maximum output power is 1.7e-9 watts, then E
is 4.1e-5 volts.

So, would a measurement of 40 microvolts or less across the resistor
be satisfactory?

Thanks,

Good question. And, although I support the effort, which was stated, in
helping the youngsters--you also must recognize I would be slow to give
advice. I don't wish to invoke the pointy-headed attorneys when I have
no horse in the race ... grin

Proceed at your own peril ...

Warmest regards,

I thought we were talking a full watt!

Indian reservations are exempt from MANY of the rules, regulations and
laws the rest of us non-indigenous peoples are subject too.

I'd see if the above were not a factor in all this.

Just think! Instead of the Indians having a monopoly on all gambling in
California (yes, I know, it is really vegas using the Indians), they
could now go ahead and get a monopoly on all broadcasting!

Myself and a colleague discussed the number of permits and variances
needed to launch real, orbital-type rockets and wondered how much would
be required if you launched from a Native reservation.
