With .7 or .8 dB insertion loss, the power dissipation is something like
15%.  The writeup seems to claim it can be used in the transmit path.  It
would get fairly warm in a contest at 150W, and probably overheat at 1500W.
OK as a receive only filter.  Any serious 160 meter station has a separate
receive antenna path anyway.

The web site states:

Compatible with output from a typical 100 Watt class HF transceiver

I haven't tried it but W3NQN also has a receive-only, BCB high-pass filter
with better specs.  Not cheap, though, at $200.
