Topband: FCC authorizes 1KW wireless power transmission

[Dale Putnam]

Without question it leaves the gate open for a flood of signals that will do away with ALL weak signal work on that band. Definition of weak signal in this case anything less than an effective  ERP less than  their tx power out plus antenna gain. And as long as we stay within our license limits we can’t match or make ANY contacts outside of a 20 mi radius day or nite with 1.5 kw and FT8   Forget cw or Ssb.  Or any other modes. 

Make this a great day
