[Elecraft] OT - High Power?

[Ian - Ham]

David, it would depend on your context. For typical, day-to-day operations, I would say anything over 200 watts is high power. Most contests recognize high power as anything over 150 watts. If you are a QRPer, anything over 5/10 watts (CW/SSB) is considered high power.

Personally, if I have my KPA500 on and am using it, I consider myself running at high power, even if I'm only getting 300-350 watts out.

73 de,

What do you regard as “high power?” Is our beloved KPA500 at 500 watts a high power device? Or do you have to have a big Alpha at legal limit?
