I have a K2/100 and an 88 ft low antenna fed with ladder-line. I run
FT-8 at 12 watts. I use 40, 30 and occasionally 20M. While I haven't
been on in a few months, earlier this year I was regularly working into
NA, SA, Europe and occasionally Africa.

Due to poor conditions the bands are empty. What you could do with 5W and
some wire a few years ago now requires a KW with a beam. Many hams
especially in noisy neighborhoods with simple antennas have trouble making
contacts and become discouraged. But they can hear a station with a KW and a
beam, and they overjoy when they make a contact.
The original poster has a foundational license in Australia with, I think,
10W limit. I remember the excitement of such stations when I was working
them from a very good VY2 location on 40m, for their first NA contact.
