Answer Notes
The 60-metre band is subject to very specific international and domestic regulations to protect primary government and military users. Because amateur radio operators are secondary users on these shared channels, strict power limits apply universally to all operators.
Even with an Advanced Qualification, operators are restricted to a maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of 100 watts Peak Envelope Power (PEP) on 60 metres. This is an important exception to the standard Advanced limits used on other HF bands.
