[SADXA] DIgital QSO

[Dave Burnett]

Which is a good argument for running as little power as needed when 
running digital modes.  I know there are stations running 50-100 watts 
(and maybe more) on FT8 right now.  In my opinion it defeats the purpose 
of weak-signal digital modes (EME, meteor, etc. notwithstanding).  I 
almost always run 5 watts from my FLEX-1500.  I may not work them all, 
but I work most.
