Similar experiences with stacks and and amplifier here up NorthEast.
In ARRL DX, we get valuable learning opportunities (i.e. we get frustrated)
as some stations 500 miles West from us report 100W and they use some
indoor ocf dipole.

At those times of personal growth, we do not hear a whisper of the North
Americans those West European barefooters log.
