> Getting a 1.5 kW, 240-antenna EME array It says 1W TX power per antenna. So the 240 antenna array which draws 1500W has a transmit power of 240W.

  EIRP. There's some gain involved.

    I think they're claiming the actual transmit power is 240W (23.8 dBW), and the EIRP is 63.1 dBW. I am sort of skeptical of the claimed gain... even at 6GHz, you need a 2-meter parabolic reflector to get 40dB, the array is 1/10th that diameter. EDIT: Ignore this second paragraph I misread the spec page.

      The MoonRF array is a full 1 meter diameter as shown on the page

        I'm asleep and I misread that as 10cm. Thanks.
