Most FT8 users have email addresses in QRZ, so you can send them a screen shot. 
In my experience (and my end fed antenna) 60 to 70 watts for long haul contacts 
are not unusual. I might be running 5 watts if I had a five element beam and a 
70 foot tower!

Hi:
IMO, having the program send a small capture of the generated TX signal might 
be useful to know how much power is being used.  Sometimes other radio 
operators complaints of too much power used for TX.  But in my experience, some 
distant QSO requires more power to get a complete contact.  

What I foresee is maybe a screenshot of the waterfall own signal so WSJTX users 
get an idea of how strong (or disturbing) their own signal is.  Users could 
then make adjustments and use less power, generating less QSB and making 
possible more QSO's.  More people happy.  

Maybe, is a matter of self-control but IMO knowing visually how our own signal 
is could help a lot.
Thanks.
