I'm getting a Yaesu FT-7 (10W)

My antenna is a simple diple

(no trap)

I was wondering where I could
get with this QRP transceiver.

Do you suggest to get a 100W
rig instead?

Do a search on QRP, but as I understand, people using 5W or less have
talked to the other side of the world.

100W will make it easier, but using the right antenna and the right
timing will get you there with your current rig.

Happy trails,
