EA6GF - why 50W?

For some reason EA6GF is using 10m WSPR and running 50W. This is FAR too much power for this beaconing mode.  I hope he soon realises that WSPR stand for "Weak Signal Propagation Reporting" and just a few watts is more than enough.

It rather goes against the grain to run such high power. As an example FR1GZ was good copy earlier running 5W. People frequently run just uWs.

Turn the power down please OM EA6GF!! Nothing is proved using such high power in this mode - save your power bill and have more fun!
