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?

@mw1cgg @M0YNG I ran 20W for a couple years but 40 seems to do much better weirdly.
