According to the currently valid regulation in OK land we can legally emit up to allowed power for the op's class, in my case it is 1kW. No note about limited ERP for 136 kHz band...

Apart from that several in several countries are giving additional (!) power limits, eg : Belgium : 2kW output (lifted in 04-2001) Holland : 400W output Finland : 100W output Germany : 20W output (lifted ?) So I assume that in any country that follows the CEPT 62-01 E there is the 1 Watt ERP limit ? In practice for most of us this 1 Watt limit is a rather theoretical burden, unless you run many kW and use huge isolators. Lifting the 1W limit would probabably get 2 or 3 very strong stations on the band and spoil the fun for all the others. Crossing the pond with a bute force of 100W ERP is no challenge, doing the same with far less than 1W ERP must give a real satisfaction. 73, Rik
