“I have a couple of FT8 contacts in my log -- with a DU and a JA -- reporting me at -24 dB where I WAS OPERATING AT 800 WATTS. YMMV.”

Why do you think you need 800 watts in a weak signal mode? Do you have any idea what that does to other operators? I’ve made several 10,000+ mile contacts with 50 watts, as have others who are following the “rules.”
