RCAG's

[BMT]

What's the wattage used by the UHF side of an RCAG?

I believe it varies, not sure, since some are low, high, and ultra-high.

Anyway, I would say at least 10 watts, maybe 55 or so at most.

Most show 10 watt's and there are some that are 50 watts.

That's also true, I get Foothills very strong with a rubber ducky at the west side of the county (near Harris HRS VORTAC, which that's where I thought it was at first, till I confirmed that) and don't get it near as good at my house on the west side of the county. But that leaves me closer to the Mount Oglethorpe RCAG, which I get depending on propagation, but not reliably, and it is 20 miles closer.

99.5% of the RCAGs, VHF and UHF, are 10 watts.
