I'm strictly a portable HF guy, mostly doing SOTA. Since last May it's been pretty well required to operate in the 30-45 watt range with a dipole at 22' feedpoint. Yesterday I tried going 12 watts with my KX2 and 2 chunks of wire hanging on a few branches at 8-10'. Got nine contacts over 12 minutes, which is not bad at all.
So, how are you finding conditions lately??
