I do all my operating at <5 watts and have over 230 DXCC contacts on SSB.
The problem on the road is having a good antenna.
I also think higher bands will be much more productive on QRP SSB.

Hi,
Here's a question from a relatively new ham who travels a lot in and
out of the US.
Could I use some type of amplifier when using the 817 at home to get
more than 5 watts out? Any way to get 100 watts out of it with an
amp at home? How effective is 5 watts using voice when using it on
the road? Basically I'm looking for a all mode rig that travels well
but that I can still use at home as a primary HF rig.
Thanks for the basic questions...sorry if it's been covered before.
73,
John, KB1ERG
