Ever since I started in amateur radio I have enjoyed QRP. DXCC was worked with 10W SSB on 10m with a low dipole in the 1980s.
These days with FT8 basic QSOs are even easier. In my experience 5W FT8 or less and simple antennas are all that is needed to work the world. Of course 1000W and a big beam would make things easier, but where is the fun?
There is a whole array of QRP radios available either as kits or ready built. I guess the choice now is greater than ever.
