Working portable from MT I worked a KL and a bunch of east coast
stations one evening on 80m SSB with 5W into a horizontal end-fed
half-wave at about 20'. I'm sure it wasn't armchair copy for any of
them, but it's definitely doable. From my home QTH in VA, I've completed
WAS on 80m SSB with 5W, but that was with a combination of a 160m
horizontal loop at 35' and a full-sized 80m wire vertical over 56 75'
radials. YMMV ;)

I'm considering replacing the 30M module in my KX-1 with a 30/80M module,
and had a few questions first:
What chances of contacts with 4 watts on 80M. using a typical end-fed
antenna suspended from a tree or hotel balcony? (Seems like higher bands
are easier at QRP)
My KX-1 has the KXAT-1 ATU. Will the KXAT-1 also attempt a match on 80M?
Has anyone had success with ONE antenna and counterpoise length that will
load properly on 80/40/30/20 using the KX-1/KXAT-1? (I'm thinking a length
which avoids High-Z on these bands)
