The NCDF beacons are the best way to figure the difference, as the call and the first dash are sent at 100 watts, second at 10, third at 1 and the last at 100 mW. Yes, there are times when the AGC equalizes two, three, or even the all dashes and you hear no difference between 100 W and 0.1 W. But very often if you can hear the DX beacon at all, only the call and the first dash are coming. That means, that in this moment you can make a QSO with 100, but can't with 10
