[RTTY] greater than 600 watts for RTTY?

[WILLIAM MARX]

RTTY is a "King of the Hill" mode. But practically speaking I doubt you need more than 600 to 1000 watts.
Now having said that, when I was chasing RTTY DX I used all I had, meaning 1500 watts. All that counts is what the other guy sees on his screen. Now skimmers and a few other things aside, most equipment reads only the one it is decoding.
But 600 watts on that antenna is a pretty potent combination.

 I do about 1200 watts out.  300 watts doesn't matter and RTTY is awfully 
hard on all the things that make up a station.
