    The best place to get an answer to your question is TowerTalk - the tower 
and HF antenna construction reflector. Send a message to 
towertalk-request at contesting.com with <subscribe> in the message to subscribe.

    Lots of info in the TowerTalk archives at www.contesting.com as well. 

    The R7 is well known for not being able to take too much power.
