I always try to make contact barefoot, if I am unable to reach the people I am wanting to speak with, I turn up power a bit.  Nothing that interferes with anyone around me.  I have set my system up to be as clean as possible.  And only use it when absolutely necessary.  I do like the challenge of making contacts on 12 watts on 38lsb, but I will say there have been some big strappers on lately!!  I know of one out of Ohio that throws a tone every time the conditions are good to speak with the upper east coast.  Makes for hard contact on my end.  Anyway, if I was able to make contact with 1 watt I would, but 38lsb is normally a mad house.
