MORE RF POWER
It seems frivolous to increase power on the bands when the increase has already
been permitted by default. The power level of 150W DC INPUT means an effective output of
about 75w. But all radios imported are 240W DC INPUT!! Also many hams use
amplifiers without sanction & claim huge antenna arrays for the big signal!! HAMS
need to learn to be more honest.

There can be situations where more power than what is already authorized by
the rules is desirable (like during emergency communications etc.). Due to
advances in technology and operating the general trend is to use less power to achieve the
same thing. Even EME is possible now a days with 5W (yes that is five watts !), with
relatively simple antenna systems.
