I've asked around
and nobody's mentioning authorized power levels. If the A and K stay low,
however, propagation to the east coast shouldn't be too wretched for those
with a decent yagi. I don't think this is an operation that will be worked
with wires and 100W, however, hi!
I think of more importance to those
of us on my side of the pond is the preponderance of operators from Europe who
may have a different focus than east coast and central North America, arguably
the most challenging location for VU4 signals. To be honest, fighting a
rock-solid EU wall for 8 days straight isn't my idea of fun. Personally, I'm
debating taking the plunge for a legal limit amp...I don't think 500W will be
enough to get over the wall, not even with my Yagi at 70 feet.

amplifier and yagi
