ZS hams can use 1000w from 1st of April. I wonder what sort of EMR hoops they had to jump through to get the power upgrade?

You would think that an event such as this would cause more excitement on the SARL website.

I think it is a joke too but the Daily Dx says its real. Ask a ZS station when we work one.

Annexure I
Amateur radio frequency bands

Most bands appear to have a power limit on 30db above 1 W which equals 1000W
