Los Angeles to Russia on 40 Watts
 
Actually, my ERP is less than 40 Watts, because on 20 meters I have a
vertical dipole and 75 feet of RG-8X.

If you'd learn the code you could work them with even less power!

This, coming from a dxDufus who hasn't made a CW QSO in years and
probably decades.

Do as he says, not as he does.

Bwahahahahaha...

If I wan to use CW I can tell my computer to send and receive CW. I
still might learn the code, so I can work the world from an Altoids tin.

I'm pretty sure I could use way less power if there were some frickin'
