I agree with what you’re saying Mike, however:
I can’t say how many, but my gut feeling says a lot of skilled operators are
not only listening for where the DX will be next but also watching with pan
adapters and such. It seems like more people are in the “right place” at the
same time lately.
Thus, to me, while timing and location are foremost, having the extra power is
next in line. I liked Brian’s article, it gave yet another way of explaining
why having more is better.

Busting a pile up more about skill. Knowing when and where to call is
far more important than attempting to out power everyone else. I would
also agree that having your voice equalized for punch and readability is
also important.
