Yes, it's important not to run too much power to prevent overloading. I have found that just 300 mW into a 16 dBi vertically polarized antenna works beautifully through most of the pass, during the last few days. Not much power is needed at all. 73 de Dave KB5WIA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
