Rf exposure is different or more critical on certain bands the exposure limits have to be caculated although I wouldnt want any antenna running that much power anywhere close to my melon regurdless what frequency or band its operating on.

Seriously, I am considering walking and talking on 20w or 100w. I assume that I am safe and this guy is clueless, but.....?

Hey! listen up guys...................this is what America is all about.

Innovation and self sacrifice for the good of the world and the hobby.

Someone probably said "You cant build a backpack radio with that much power".

The man with the radio didn't ask "Why"? he just went ahead and did it.
