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 on:



[[Page 596]]



    (1) The 3.675-3.725 MHz, 7.10-7.15 MHz, 10.10-10.15 MHz, and 21.1-

21.2 MHz segments;

    (2) The 28.1-28.5 MHz segment 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[deg]41[min] North, on the 

east by longitude 104[deg]11[min] West, on the north by latitude 

34[deg]30[min] North, and on the west by longitude 107[deg]30[min] 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.
