  Sec.  97.313   Transmitter power standards.

   (a) An amateur station must use the minimum transmitter power necessary to
   carry out the desired communications.

   (b) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 1.5 kW PEP.

   (c) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 200 W PEP:

   (1) On the 10.10–10.15 MHz segment;

   (2) When the control operator is a Novice Class operator or a Technician
   Class operator who has received credit for proficiency in telegraphy in
   accordance with the international requirements; or

   (3) The 7.050-7.075 MHz segment when the station is within ITU Regions 1 or
   3.

   (d) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 25 W PEP on
   the VHF 1.25 m band when the control operator is a Novice operator.

   (e) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 5 W PEP on
   the UHF 23 cm band when the control operator is a Novice operator.

   (f) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 50 W PEP on
   the UHF 70 cm band from an area specified in footnote US7 to  Sec. 2.106 of part
   2, unless expressly authorized by the FCC after mutual agreement, on a
   case-by-case basis, between the District Director of the applicable field
   facility and the military area frequency coordinator at the applicable
   military  base.  An Earth station or telecommand station, however, may
   transmit  on the 435–438 MHz segment with a maximum of 611 W effective
   radiated power (1 kW equivalent isotropically radiated power) without the
   authorization otherwise required. The transmitting antenna elevation angle
   between the lower half-power (−3 dB relative to the peak or antenna bore
   sight) point and the horizon must always be greater than 10^o .

   (g) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 50 W PEP on
   the 33 cm band from within 241 km of the boundaries of the White Sands
   Missile Range. Its boundaries are those portions of Texas and New Mexico
   bounded on the south by latitude 31 °41' North, on the east by longitude
   104 °11' West, on the north by latitude 34 °30' North, and on the west by
   longitude 107 °30' West.

   (h) No station may transmit with a transmitter power exceeding 50 W PEP on
   the 219–220 MHz segment of the 1.25 m band.
