So, are you guys who do DX on CB... what power levels do you use? 4W AM, or
12W SSB? When the skip is in, how far do you get on 4W AM vs. 12W SSB
(assuming a nice big antenna on your roof)? How about when the skip isn't
real good?

Just curious...


The 11-meter band is very fickle. When skip is rolling, you can hear
just about anything that puts out a couple watts. When DX is dead,
it's dead regardless of how much power you run. For local chatter,
legal power for SSB is almost ideal because if you can hear a station,
you can usually hit it with 12 watts SSB.
