Back in the 1980s I designed an 800mW, VXO controlled, transceiver for 15m CW. For quite a while this was the only rig I used. As I recall it worked plenty of stations with a low wire dipole. I never seemed to struggle. The receiver was direct conversion.
It worked very well, and far better than I ever expected. It was first designed and built in 1984 and appeared in GQRP SPRAT in 1987.
