Yes, but if I were trying to work a difficult path like EU on 160M from 
here in W6, I would be running as much power as I thought my power amp 
could safely handle for the 50 second keydown cycle -- (probably about 
500W).

Thor's very informative post about the far more limited spectrum on 160M 
in his country was also quite helpful, and it helped a lot in 
understanding his concerns. This is the sort of information that I'd 
love to see collected for ALL countries on a website.  I'd be happy to 
post it on mine if someone were to collect it.
