§ 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 output exceeding 200 W
PEP:
(1) On the 10.10-10.15 MHz segment;
(2) On the 3.525-3.60 MHz, 7.025-7.125 MHz, 21.025-21.20 MHz, and 28.0-28.5
MHz segment when the control operator is a Novice Class operator or a
Technician Class operator; 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 paragraph (a) of footnote US270
in § 2.106, unless expressly authorized by the FCC after mutual agreement, on
a case-by-case basis, between the Regional 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°.
(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.
(i) No station may transmit with an effective radiated power (ERP) exceeding
100 W PEP on the 60 m band. For the purpose of computing ERP, the
transmitter PEP will be multiplied by the antenna gain relative to a
half-wave dipole antenna. A half-wave dipole antenna will be presumed to
have a gain of 1 (0 dBd). Licensees using other antennas must maintain in
their station records either the antenna manufacturer's data on the antenna
gain or calculations of the antenna gain.
(j) No station may transmit with a transmitter output exceeding 10 W PEP
when the station is transmitting a SS emission type.
