I would recommend two things first. Check out the arrl web site and find a ham radio club near you and use the QRZ tests, I used those studying for my Extra and Aced the exam.

As far as running power, you really don't need it. The Key is your antenna. If you have a good antenna you can work the world with very little power. I've had people walk away shaking their heads at talking to other hams a hundred miles away on 2 Meters with an Icom mobile mounted on the dash of a semi. Ham Radio is nothing like CB. You really don't need the power.
