I think few US amateurs know that the maximum power output on 30 meters (10
MHz) is only 200 watts.
There have been many questions here from US amateurs about amplifiers for 30
meters. And I can't understand why. Sure, you have a QRP rig and want more
power on 30 meters... I understand that one. But a KW amp?
