[UK-CONTEST] Re High Power

[Colin]

This is nothing new and German amateurs running more than 25 Watts have 
had to submit radiated field figures to RegTP for a number of years.   
I'm not sure at this time whether this is still required but it is all a 
result of the anti-cell tower campaign.   I should also add that in the 
UK anyone requiring a high power Special Research Permit (more than 400W 
PEP) for bands above 30 MHz is required to carry out a similar exercise 
before submitting their application to Ofcom.
