Your experience would be quite different west of the Mississippi, where 
population density is much less, and with much greater distances between 
population centers. That's why, for example, the FCC licenses 10 dB 
greater TX power west of the MS river.

Higher TX power also helps for moonbounce and meteor scatter.
