[Elecraft] We Need More Power

[Ignacy]

The correlations between passionate writing and useful content is close to
zero if not negative. 

Due to poor conditions the bands are empty. What you could do with 5W and
some wire a few years ago now requires a KW with a beam. Many hams
especially in noisy neighborhoods with simple antennas have trouble making
contacts and become discouraged. But they can hear a station with a KW and a
beam, and they overjoy when they make a contact.  

The original poster has a foundational license in Australia with, I think,
10W limit. I remember the excitement of such stations when I was working
them from a very good VY2 location on 40m, for their first NA contact.
