@rhaen I'm a CW guy and yes, QRP is fun and adequate most of the time. For DXing, not so much. Path loss over an 8,000 mile circuit is usually high. And if you're after rare DX, there's always a pileup. However, 100 watts is usually sufficient if you're persistent and use good tactics. I haven't run legal limit for almost 30 years and don't miss it.
