Yup.  This morning about 11Z I was trying to work a guy in FL on 160M 
JT65.  His noise level was so high that I had to drive the KPA500 to 
500W to make the QSO. I've had similar experiences with many other 
stations that were as much as 10dB above my minimum copyable signal 
level, starting off with 10W and increasing power in 3dB steps until 
they hear me.
