Folks are missing the point. If producing even a weak signal at the other end requires maximum legal power, so be it. It's still a weak signal. QRO is a mindset, not a fixed level. 73, Rick wa6nhc Tiny iPhone 5 keypad, typos are inevitable > On Sep 3, 2015, at 11:40 PM, Carl Jón Denbow

Okay, I should have said 100 watts is QRO for JT65 on HF. I've never used it on VHF, UHF, EME, etc. I know it was developed for EME, but it has evolved a lot since then. The newer JT9 was developed, as I understand it, for terrestrial weak signal use. Perhaps my original meaning would have

I can go to 100W with my K3. That is what I currently log as "high power" in RUMlog. There are many K3 options that are higher on my wish list than more power. 73 Bill AE6JV On 9/3/15 at 9:35 AM, davidahren...@me.com (David Ahrendts) wrote: What do you regard as “high power?” Is our beloved

High Power is like beauty it is in the eye of the beholder. Being an OT'er anything beyond the basic 807 or pair of 6146's is High Power, So my KPA500 is surely such. My backup station which is a K2 driving a legal limit Ten Tec Titan sits unused. Hard to beat the integration in the
