Just recently, I was testing an 80W 2M amplifier into a dummy load. I noticed that anytime I send a signal into it, it triggered the local repeater. (I changed frequencies.) However, I can work the local repeater from my living room with a HT set at 100 mW, so it doesn't take much.

Now if I could only contact the contest and DX stations with this little antenna and power.

Most of us O.T.s (like you) have had the experience of using a 'grocery
store dummy load' (ordinary incandescent light bulb) to test our rigs and
had someone call us in return!
