I think some have misunderstood my post. I wasn't talking about the legal power
limit.
For example if I say I'm running 200 watts that puts me in the low power
category. Now if I claim 200 watts ( that puts me in the LP category) and I'm
really running a KW that's cheating .
That being said I'm sure there are some stations running more than the legal
limit in their country.
