Legally we’re limited to 1500 watts. I know hams that are capable of far more than that.
Hell, my Alpha 9500 loafs at 1500 and can do that all day long. It doesn’t take much to get it over 2k and into my Mosley TA33SR which is rated at 2500w (before modifications up to 5k, just to be safe) I’m not too worried about traders interfering with MY receive. They should be worried about theirs when we hams start pointing our beams their way and collectively interfering with theirs.
We all know the FCC doesn’t enforce jack sh#t, so not worried about a damn thing. They can’t possibly bust us all.
