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:
    (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 
or Technician 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 footnote US7 to 
Sec. 2.106 of the FCC Rules, unless expressly authorized by the FCC 
after mutual agreement, on a case-by-case basis, between the EIC 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 deg..
    (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' North, on the east 
by longitude 104 deg. 11' West, on the north by latitude 34 deg. 30' 
North, and on the west by longitude 107 deg. 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.
