- A.200 watts PEP output (correct answer)
- B.1000 watts PEP output

Why10.140 MHz falls in the 30-meter band, where every license class is limited to 200 watts PEP output. 10.140 MHz sits in the 30-meter WARC band, which FCC rules cap at 200 watts PEP output for every license class permitted there, a lower ceiling than most HF bands carry, answer A. The higher power levels in B, C, and D all exceed what §97.313(c)(1) actually allows on this shared band.
