[Amps] SB200 on 30 m

[Jim W7RY]

The FCC rules are very clear. 200 watts PEP output from the transmitter.

Doesn't matter if you have a -20db gain antenna (wet noodle) or a 10Dbd 
Yagi.

200 watts output. Period.

A 30 meter beam size would be between a 40 meter and 20 meter size and a lot 
of hams build both.  A 3 element beam for 30 meters would probably give at 
least a 6 db gain, which is equivalent to increasing your transmitter power 
by 4 times.  A 100 watt transmitter power into a 6 db gain antenna would be 
equivalent to running 400 watts into a vertical or dipole which usually have 
little gain.
