Summation effects of sources could be high; long hall short wave communications will work with only mW TX-output power, depending on ionosphere propagations. This is also a matter of background noise considerations, typically 10 to 20 dB below NB 30, following some old EMC statistics of EMI occurrence. Different from old MPT 1750 approach, taking noise floors for receivers into account.)
