Remember to take duty cycle, ambient temperatures, and the coax exposure 
to free air into account when considering dissipation limits. Duty cycle 
strongly depends on transmission modes and operating style. Rag chewing 
with keydown modes like RTTY or FM are more demanding than RTTY 
contesting or WSJT modes; CW less so, and SSB even less.
