Very little power is necessary in space. I had a QSO with an astronaut on
MIR with a 3 watt ht. With nothing in the way, it will go on virtually
forever.

I have no idea if it's an actual fact or not, but back in the mid 70's I
was third party to a conversation in which it was mentioned that the moon
missions communicated on something like 10 watts. I didn't believe it at
the time - not that I would have known any better... Perhaps someone in
here has the scoop on it?
