It doesn't embarrass me at all.  Once you have done all you can to
improve your rx within reason, then run all the power you can.  If the
other station can't put a signal into my QTH I can copy then that's
his problem.

The new reality is many locations have noise floors that are many many
dB higher than 40 or 50 years ago.  After antennas, a major solution
is power.  If a ham doesn't want to go QRO he has a problem, not me.

I will not let not hearing someone keep me off 160.
