If the uplink power is in the order of 10 to 20 watt into a 10 dBi RHCP antenna than the Dutch transponder is not overloaded.
Yes, it's important not to run too much power to prevent overloading. I have found that just 300 mW into a 16 dBi vertically polarized antenna works beautifully through most of the pass, during the last few days. Not much power is needed at all.
