Why would one need an "antenna farm" with an ERP (EIRP ?) limit of 0.1 Watt?
I think it's because small/low aerials lose more signal to surrounding
ground clutter than do big/high aerials. I don't believe that trees,
buildings and hills necessarily appear as part of the loss resistance
you mention.
On the other hand using narrowband modes will give easily give a 5 to
10 dB improvement of CW.
Nobody disagrees with you. What Mal said was "there is no need to use
QRS to be heard around EU". It seems a shame to use a slow mode if a
given path supports a faster one.
