Hello Bob,
The legal limit is 1 watt DC input,   _and_ an antenna no longer than 50 ft,
within the 160-190 kHz  "lowfer" band.  This band is, unfortunately for us,
useless for long distance transmission towards Europe, as the LF broadcasters
operate in that band with megawatts.  The only hope we have of doing
transatlantic traffic in LF is by using the CEPT 136kHz  band
Back to the drawing board  :-)
