I'm a ham. I have never exceeded FCC approved power on any band I am authorized to use.

I had problems with my breakers before I ever transmitted word one. I paid several hundred dollars to have my home's electrical installer check our home. I've had continuing problems. I can assure you neither hams, nor amateur radio equipment, are the problems in my case. As you have reported, the problem is created by defective breakers which are overly sensitive to certain frequencies. (Just what I have been told by electricians in the know).
