Sadly, the "alligators" (2 specific violators come to mind...) who need to hear this admonition are not BB subscribers...

One of the likely causes of random mode jumping, however, is an excessive power drain caused by too much power on the uplink. Please limit your uplink power to no more than 100w ERP. As stated numerous times over the past 39 years, if you cannot hear your downlink on AO-7 Mode B with 100w ERP, you need a better receive system, not more power!
