Remember also that absolute power measurements, especially across different bands, should be made into a dummy load. Measurements on an antenna system will be affected by reactances in the system. FWIW, while testing I tuned up my L-4B running from 120 volts into a dummy load, IIRC it was on 40 or 80 Meters, and it hit 900+ watts CW in the low power position before the breaker tripped. 73 -Jim (Tim Taylor-ing it) -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
