Answer Notes

The 28 MHz band corresponds to the 10-meter amateur band. For General Class control operators, the maximum permitted transmitter power on this band is the standard legal limit of 1500 watts Peak Envelope Power (PEP) output. While Novice and Technician class operators are limited to a maximum of 200 watts PEP on their specific 10-meter subbands, General Class licensees enjoy full power privileges across their allocated frequencies. Therefore, the 1500-watt maximum applies here just as it does to most other HF bands for Generals and Extras.
