This is only partially true.
If a DXpedition is carefully planned, like, say, VP6DX and I'm sure upcoming
Clipperton will be, it will be heard by thousands and one needs everything
he/she has +1 dB to break through the pile-up of hundreds Europeans calling.
4SQ-ers/10K go first, then the real battle starts and that's the time when
every TX dB counts.
Anyway, we all are prisoners of the skip, which was awful lately.
