40m has had some great nights this year from Wisconsin - those times I was easily working Europeans on SSB with 100 watts and a wire vertical.

It used to be a gang buster band, with 20 people on in 3 round tables, with people coming and going all day. When 40 works well, 50 watts is enough to work loads of guys with good signal strength. But I dont think its going to get better for a while...
