[NLRS] 'VJB cheap yagi power handling

Wonder if anyone has thoughts on calculating the power handling capacity 
of Kent Britain's "cheap yagi" beams based upon typical practices and/or 
experience.

Several years ago I had built a 9 element 222 beam using 1/4 inch ally 
tubing and 12 AWG copper mains cable as the elements and was able to 
reliably run up to 300 watts or so.

I don't recall ever seeing any suggestions on power limits for these.
