I strongly agree. > 73, Bill > > P.S. I run 1.5 kW on Topband but always get a thrill working QRP callers. Same here. I have a lot of land, lots of nice antennas, including Beverages, so I can hear pretty well. I particularly like the Stew Perry contest, where you get extra points for working QRP stations, and the ARRL DX Contest, where the DX station sends his power as the exchange. Each year, I'm pleasantly surprised to work a fair number of 5W and 1W stations from JA on 80M and 40M! I'm a member of NCCC, one of the top contesting clubs, and one of our recent Presidents, N6WG, ONLY runs QRP. There are top contesters in AL and MN who often runs QRP. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
