OK, do some calculating:
During the contest, like CQ WW you would have on average about 600 stations
CQing their heads off with 1.5 kW ....

I am aware of a number of contest stations who use 10 to 13db more.


Some running
"plywood boxes" so err on the plus side. What do we get? Wishfull thinking?
