For many years after I was licensed in 1960, we were limited in G-land to
10 watts input to the PA (not output). So working DX was a major
achievement, although there were quite a few 'fat watts' around!
G3PU used to regularly work VK and ZL with a genuine 10 watts from his
cliff top QTH on the south coast. G3ERN was another genuine 10 watter who
worked VK/ZL.
Somewhere in my log there is a QSO with George AA7JV when he was running 5
watts in Miami with an excellent signal.
73,
