Well Jeff in my area here, there are 9 guys on ch 38 in a 25 mi. radius and they all have their big amp's (400 - 1kw) and they all have beams except for one.
But with my 5 element & the 100 watt cheap export radio, I am always right in the mix of things. So with 28 contacts on 11 meters into Russia, I think that's not to shabby for what I am using.

I really enjoy the radio, but having to run big amps to talk to some one across the United States has never appealed to me, that just takes all the fun out the hobby for me......
