My experience on VHF is 10 to 20 watts and a 10 ele yagi is OK for most CW and SSB work when good tropo conditions exist.
Your experience would be quite different west of the Mississippi, where population density is much less, and with much greater distances between population centers. That's why, for example, the FCC licenses 10 dB greater TX power west of the MS river.
Higher TX power also helps for moonbounce and meteor scatter. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
