FT8 is a "weak signal" mode.
But often confused for a "low power" mode.

I was running between 20 and 40 watts at the radio this afternoon (and still not always being heard!)

I wonder what power you use for and similar?

@M0YNG For weak-signal VHF, 300 watts. Sometimes 10 milliwatts. On HF, I don't use FT8. I do use more effective digimodes on LF at full legal limit and on microwaves with either as much power as I can produce, or down to a milliwatt. "It depends"
