I believe that the work being done in a QRP QSO is done by the RX station, not the TX station. That is, if there is any work to be done. Sometimes propogation is such that QRP signals are Q5 and "work" just as well as QRO. In that case, nobody is doing anything special. The time the QRP op is doing the work is when he spends to time to optimize his antennas to make up for the 6 dB or more loss in TX power. Again, this is to make the QRP signal work just like a QRO signal. This is the case where the QRP person can take some credit for having gone above & beyond to make a QSO happen. In most cases, however, I firmly believe the "qrp award" goes to the receiving station, not the transmitting station. - Keith N1AS - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
