Hello Alex,
I have a FLEX feeding a DEMI 25 watt transverter into a M2 22-10EZ antenna.
I had the same issues that you describe.
I then obtained a 250 watt amp and that made a huge difference, if I could hear
them, I could work them.
( for DX, frequently with difficulty, but with a few repeats the Q was made. )
Having "some power" on any of the VHF or UHF bands makes quite a difference on
your success rate.

Subject: Re: [VHFcontesting] Tuesday Activity Night Reminder
I worked K1PXE and WB2SIH on SSB. Many thanks! Unfortunately, I have
this problem that I can hear folks better than they can hear me. I did
hear K1DS, WZ1V, K3GNC, and one other station on SSB. I tried CW to get
someone's attention to no avail. My CQ's went unanswered as well, even
on FT8. I guess my signal is just too weak and either have to get a kW
for this band also, or go on the HTML 1.0 KST chat page to scare up Q's,
which I was hoping not to be needed on a activity night. I'll try again
next week.
