[SixClub] Minimum Reliable 6M Propagation?

[kc7hkp at comcast.net]

100 watts. 5 el beam , worked all States and all most all grids in Japan.   

Started with 25 watts and a Vertical then a Square Loop then the 5 Element Beam, all worked, but you can aim the beam !. and 100 watts is fine.

Have about 350 confirmed grids with QSL cards.

So it being on the air 24 hours a day listening that really makes all the difference, If you are not there to work them  then forget the Biggest and the Bad-Est
