David, it would depend on your context. For typical, day-to-day operations, I would say anything over 200 watts is high power. Most contests recognize high power as anything over 150 watts. If you are a QRPer, anything over 5/10 watts (CW/SSB) is considered high power.
Personally, if I have my KPA500 on and am using it, I consider myself running at high power, even if I'm only getting 300-350 watts out. 73 de, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua km4ik....@gmail.com 10-10 #74624, North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070 #1962 K3# 281, P3 #688, KAT500 #860, KPA500 #1468 -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of David Ahrendts Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2015 12:35 PM To: Elecraft List <Elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Elecraft] OT - High Power? What do you regard as “high power?” Is our beloved KPA500 at 500 watts a high power device? Or do you have to have a big Alpha at legal limit?
