why bother with 50 watts?



Judging by it's overall size and wire thickness, it's probably only 50 watts
peak. That means 12.5 watts RMS in AM which won't even double your range, and
would just barely double the range in SSB. Hardly worth the effort when a better
antenna will do the same job for both transmit AND receive.
