   300 Watts is the highest RF Input Power I've ran at my QTH, and I think   
   300W on HF is probably ALL I need to run.   
      
   When I had the Home Brew 300W RF Amp, with plug-in coils, a older Ham   
   Operator built and used years ago, that he gave to me, I made a QSO on   
   20M CW with a Ham in Katowice, Poland once when I lived 20 Miles South   
   of where I live now.   
      
   I know Katowice is a short distance from Your QTH but it was DX to me.   
      
   The only other higher powered TX's I've used was a T350-XM that was   
   replaced by the CE 100V/600L at K6NCJ when I was stationed at Naval Air   
   Station Alameda, California.   
      
   I loved using both of those TX's.   
   When I keyed up the T350-XM on 80M or 20M AM it made a 'Hole' in the   
   frequency I used.   
      
   Before I was assigned duty in Alameda I was in Norfolk, Virginia and   
   used a B&W 5100 at the Ham Shack on the Base.   
      
   In the mid-1960's a local Ham Radio Store had a list of Radio Gear it   
   wanted for Trade In and to my surprise the B&W5100 was at the top of   
   the list.   
      
   I asked why and was told that CB'ers wanted those TX's because they had   
   a 11 Meter position on their Band Switch and ran 180W RF Input.   
      
   That made me wonder about the owner of the store who was a Ham.
