Activity here on the site has been very slow. I hope the Part 15 hobby is still alive and strong.

I got to wondering about the unused capacity of the SSTran, with 100mW to the final amplifier stage. As we already know, the used capacity is whatever happens with a 3-meter antenna.
The unused capacity is whatever result might or could happen with a longer antenna.
The Rules allow brief experiments not to exceed 30-seconds.
So I raised a 6-meter vertical antenna and tuned the output for peak. Amazingly, the result was NO DIFFERENT WHATSOEVER than a standard 3-meter antenna!
After hearing your comments I’ll post the next experiment in this inquiry.
