Peter, If you think calling CQ in a contest while running 5 watts and
not getting a single reply is fun then have at it. Working some stations
with 100 watts is more fun for me.

Well, I think doing QRP is nuts on 160M, but I tired it during the RAC
Winter Contest and made 26 QSOs in about 1.5 hours, and I have to admit it
was kinda fun, and I was just pokin' along.....
So, me thinks I'll try QRP during the Stew Perry and see how it goes.....
Now if I could just locate the source of my nasty 160M noise.....

:::: I will indeed be in there trying out all my new CW interface goodies.
I have not really operated CW in a contest in many years.
BTW FYI in the CQ 160 contest last year, In 9 hours I made 972 contacts in
all 48 states plus 12 countries :-) :-) For first in TN and 17th. in
country. All on phone.
I did run full power though. One of these days I may try qrp just to
punish myself.

Huh? For QRP with a completely portable operation, I'd call that pretty
good.
The late jazz saxophonist Gene Quill was sometimes criticized for being
a poor imitation of the great Charlie Parker. At one point, he handed
his horn to one of those critics, saying "Here -- YOU play Charlie
Parker solos."
