You are misinformed. JT65 is NOT a LOW POWER mode, it is a WEAK SIGNAL
mode. BIG difference. Caps added for emphasis. On VHF/UHF, it is quite
common to run as much power as you can to work moonbounce, or double hop
E-skip when the band is only marginal, or tropo. Right now, KH8/W7GJ is
on a rare island in the Pacific working moonbounce, and both he and the
stations working him are running big antennas and big power. I run my
KPA500 on 6M for all modes, including JT65.
