I know, you might have worked the world on 5W. But I prefer some power behing my signal on SSB – particularly 40m. I find it so much fun, ramming Japan and some new far-away stations in my 40m logbook!

Bit of fun here, Matt M0LMK let Isabella use his radio to SMASH the pile up last night. This should make you smile.. Suggest you ask Matt for a recording of your callsign in Isabella’s voice! Should work easy!
How much power will break your Coax, Connectors, Elements and Baluns? Roly ZL1BQD, John, NJ4Z and myself discuss. G’luck! Callum.

The USA has a 1,500W limit and UK has a 1,000W limit. In the UK, that’s at the feedpoint which means with (for instance) 3dB loss in the coax, you could be pumping out 2kW and still stay inside your terms and conditions. However, it’s not just about power. Can you HEAR stations too? Perhaps more complex. More on this subject coming up soon.
Today, Ofcom announced the 1000W limit for UK Full ticket holders – so why not! Whether you like it or not, it’s the "law".
