I didn't really need a super-fancy antenna system either. No stacks,
no long-boom monobanders, just a Force 12 C31XR up 70' or so (3
elements for 20m on a 31 foot boom),
but having a legal-limit amp
and diversity-receive on the Mark V really did make things go easier.
Compared to my 100W and

Dan, you hit the nail on the head. If you fancy yourself a DXer you
need a station to cash the cheques your mouth writes, first and
foremost. If all you can afford is 100W and a wire, then you're a
fair-weather DXer (solar-wise).

Honest answer? I don't care what you think. I help Pete out setting up his
house and station, he's helped me with mine, and will be here when my antennas
go up next month. It's called friendship.
Frankly, I'm NOT a serious DXer - I have 6-7 all time new ones sitting here -
haven't bothered
How about: DJ6SI, DL7FT, SM0AGD, F2JD, VK9NS?
A few others may come to mind if the cobwebs clear...

You have a choice:
1. Draw your own line, in which case no one can criticize your choices
2. Pursue an award and abide by its rules
