Well I'm going to run a 50 watt Texas Star modulator into a 750 W Palomar skipper

You'll be good to go with a whip...The kind of power your talking about won't even tickle a whip...

I have ran 9KW through a steel whip with no issues but it was on a hard wired hard mounted puck don't try it with your typical ball or 90 degree mount those mounts are only good to 1000 maybe 1500

more power than the copper in your coax will handle

Thx for the info I made a home made ground plane and am using whip as a base antenna and wanted to know what it could handle before I pushed my power thru it
