My experience (non-emergency) would indicate otherwise. I have spent
hundreds if not thousands of hours mobiling on 80/40/20 with never
more than 100 watts and I worked everywhere. A knowledge of
propagation is required of course.
Perhaps if you're a military station who's going to stick on one band
and expect it to do the job 24/7, high power would be in order. If
you're willing to QSY, 100w and a good antenna will do it.
