I can't speak for how much activity there is in the Bay Area.  However
20 watts into 4 properly spaced C3i FO39-432's at a good height and
proper feedline should produce some real serious results.  Sooooo much
more than 100 watts into a KB6KQ-432 which is just fine for different
circumstances.

My point being that at V/UHF frequencies power alone is a pretty
meaningless statement and no you don't have to have 4 C3i's but oh how
sweet that would be.
