Sure they would. There was a long time ham (now SK) who would not run
anything less than 100 watts from his mobile. Didn't matter what band --
had to be at least 100 watts or he wasn't happy.
I've seen the same thing in public safety service. For years you
couldn't get the local fire departments to run a mobile at anything less
than 100 watts, didn't matter if it was on 46.10 MHz or on the UHF MED
channels. Today, however, they are running 25 watts and find that it
works just fine.
