Your s-meter is interesting.  There's a 10 db gap between S8-S9, but half that
between graduations at the low end.

I work guys every day who read S1 or do not move the s-meter at all.  Sometimes
I have to strain to copy them.  In fact, those are the guys I want to work (they
are DX).  If my signal is also that weak at 100 watts, then would they hear me
at 10 watts?
