I don’t think its a myth. In the early 1970’s, the power company I worked for

Something near a quarter wave and a typical one or two wire counterpoise is

It doesn’t take much effort to get to 50% efficient with a quarter wave or
longer wire, and a few short radials.
After that, there a

Now, I use an Elecraft 20 watt load, and have used it for short periods of time

I use a remote auto tuner so I don't need my KAT3. Used in non
smoking environment and always handled with anti static protection.
Current cost $299.95. Very little used and works as new, with
manual. I will sell for $225. incl. ground shipping to CONUS. PayPal
or MO.
Thanks,
feel.
I also use a heavier K2 knob on my K1, which likely helps in the
smoothness department.

Thanks, Don. I am always happy to learn that something I don't
understand is meaningless! I even like to think that was the reason
that I didn't understand it!

They sorta did. Its called the Wilderness SST! Wayne designed it a
couple of decades ago. And its big brother, the NorCal 40A.

Elecraft kits. I have often thought that I would like an
external enclosure with the T1 tuner and a battery pack. Then I would
attach my portable paddles to the enclosure and benefit from the weight.

I also have been enjoying this discussion. And the thread is nicely
described in the subject line, making it easy to filter for those not
interested. It would be nice if this was always the case, on this
reflector and others.

I do. "Casual" QSO's are the only kind I was speaking to. The only
ones I have interest in. I have no interest in dealing with crowds,
weather on the air or at the mall.

I agree with the first two. I appreciate a clean output from my
transmitter and I would much rather use a bug. More fun!
But /QRP is not redundant, if that is what I want to communicate, then
I use it. I don't see it as a bad operating practice. I find that it
encourages other QRP ops to
