I suspect QRP hamm'in - is a lot like hunting with a bow and arrow. Many hunters, not satisfied to hunt with a gun, rifle or pistol - limit themselves with a bow and arrow. (probably a pulley bow in 2006)
It takes considerably more skill and patience, to hunt game with a bow. One has to get closer to their prey. They have to hunt better. They have to aim much better. Their equipments must be more heavily relied on. And they are a a real disadvantage, compared to a hunter with a 30 cal rifle and long-range scope. I hunted NY State deer, for several years - got many bow shots, and never hit one! Those were in my smoking days - and I suspect, looking back, the deer knew I was there, before I ever got there! Several trees, several near misses, several great shots! So in a way, QRP places a ham at a disadvantage, and requires much greater skills in the hunt! But I suspect, all you QRP'ers know this already. :) Good QRP'ing Fred, FL __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
