I crossed the Atlantic from the UK to the USA with only 10 watts on 6m back in the 90s. AF1T was the other end. That's a QSO that I won't forget! The radio was an FT-690 with a 10W amplifier. The antenna was a 3 element Bushcraft beam.
Never mind Vancouver; look at all of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Nothing for 6 metres. And I live beside a hospital that pumps RFI 24/7, so no HF at all for me. 😒
