I don't get the hate for 100 Watts on FT8 either. Use the power you need to make the contact. Keep an eye on the waterfall to make sure you aren't doubling. If

I don't get the hate for 100 Watts on FT8 either. Use the power you need to make the contact. Keep an eye on the waterfall to make sure you aren't doubling. If you're getting a +5 SNR report then obviously dial it way back but when I do DX at 100 Watts it's usually -10 or less. Of course that's for QSOs usually well over 3k miles.

Isn't 50W that is max allowed power on UHF (432MHz) for amateur radio ? de R9LAJ

  Sorry for the late response. Yes you're correct, 50W max on that band, at least in the US. I was replying to a person referring to FT8 on the HF bands where the max power is 1500W. 73
