Thom There are various grades of 300 ohm twinlead. Some are very cheap and have pretty skimpy conductors. Some are good quality. There is/was at least one version that was suitable for transmitting (power level not stated that I can recall). If you have some of the good quality stuff, you can probably do 100w just fine. I'd watch out for the skimpy stuff, though. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG
