This week we had a two part question: a) what is the lowest power that you have used to make a QSO and on what band? and b) what is the highest power you have used to make a QSO and on what band?
Here are the *interesting* responses:
- <100mW, but I don't have a meter that goes that low, 1kW on 6m.
- 5 watts on 2m/70cm
- 0.1 watts on 70cm and 100 watts on the HF bands
- 0.1W, for week 39 of last year's Ham Challenge. I used FT8 on the 40m band. 1kW, our legal limit, using my club's station on 20m
- 4W, 2M;100W most HF bands
- 0.1W on 2 meters, 1000W on 20M
- 1W 40M FT8 ; 100W 40/20M SSB/FT8
- 400 mW on 40m, 100 W on 20m
- 0.225 watts or slightly less on 40m. Close to 100 watts on 20m
- 1.5 watts EIRP on 8m band (SSB and FT8); est. 10 kilowatts EIRP on 23cm band (EME)
- 50mW on 70cm / 200W on 20m
- 10W FT8 on 10m, 15m, and 20m; 50W ssb on 20m
- 0.5W 2m, 25W, 2m
- 5w 2M, 100w 20M
- 1 WATT ON 15 METERS, 1500 WATTS ON 160 METERS
- 180mW 2m, 100W 160m
- 1W is the lowest power I've used, on 2m and 70cm. 5W is the highest power I've used, on 2m and 70cm
- 1 Watt, 440 DMR Simplex, 45 Watts FM simplex
- I've made FT8 contacts at 0% power on my IC-705, which should be about 50mW. I believe this was on 20m, I've never operated more than a 100W radio on any band
- 5 watts on 20m, 100 watts on 6m
- 1w 20m, 1500w 20m
- Probably 2W SSB or digital on 20 and 40m, I've never gone higher than 100W on any band
- 100 mw on 20m, 1.5kw on 80-10m
- Pretty sure I've made a 1W 2 mete FM QSO somewhere. I routinely use 100W HF
