Yes, it is amazong, when one actually runs the numbers. It the specs of a radio are to suppress the 2nd harmonic by 48 db, read the manual or specs of the tx to find your own, but by 48 db, but the output power is 900 watts, the 2nd harmonic can be .014 watt. and don't let the small figure fool you. Many a qso have been made with 15 milliwatt. That is still loud in many rx. Especially when radiated from an effecient antenna. --... ...--
