I know a couple of people who have started on the band with a few Watts and great hopes, only to have them dashed and give up. I'm just trying to be realistic. I disagree that 200W is QRO on LF however, it's the RADIATED power we're interested in, not the amount heating up the garden. Remember that it's no more difficult to build a 200W TX than a 5W one, you just use bigger bits! BTW, there's lots of activity on here and little on the band.... anyone want a QSO? Dave G3YXM.
