| My ham license let's me transmit on 2200 meter and 630 meter bands. I'm not allowed to use a 1100 meter or 315 meter dipole, either. And I can only eirp 1000mW. I mean, legally. I can't eirp anywhere near that can you imagine the losses? |

| I think you can use 5W eirp on 630 meter, at least that's consistent with my band plan :) It looks that for 600m you could use a vertical wire with a lot of radials :) Maybe with a balloon? But 2200 would be fun indeed. |

| ▲ | genewitch a day ago | parent [-] | | huh, 5W eirp. Either that changed or my memories did. cool. I also don't remember the 500W PEP ceiling, either. I thought you could drive it however hard you wanted to as long as your radiator didn't exceed [what i thought was 1000] 5000mW eirp. | | |

The FCC, by law and their own rules, can’t/won’t come after you if you emit on any band with any power saying anything if you happen to be “under rubble”. |
