For anyone considering trying QRP(p) operation, don't be put off by tales of super antennas. Yes, a good antenna always helps, and if you have an unusually good setup, by all means take advantage of it. But surprising results can be had with strictly average setups. This weekend, I achie

Propagation was pretty darn good too... worked a Mn station running 5 watts who was 30 over in Tn. Folks were telling me I was pegging the needle running 100 watts. Really wasn't expecting those lind of comments, nor the DX worked either. QRP is surprisingly effective on 160 with a decent anten

assuming a k3 and it is fully loaded; If I want to operate at say, 1 watt I believe all I have to do is adjust the power out and it will go from 100mw to 120W using the main antenna 1 or 2. If that is true, how does one select and use less that that? If one uses the BNC out on the transverter
