Hmmm. If that is the case, then QRP should NOT be used on any band for
contesting or otherwise. That is the name of the game; dig out the weak
ones.
I personally have nothing against QRP, having operated QRP in the Stew Perry
contest for 16 of the 19 runnings. I even have a plaque on the wall for #1
World operating QRP.
IMHO the SPDC is the BEST contest to use QRP because #1-You get more points
per given Q, and #2-The other station gets equal compensation in points for
copying your QRP signal. What could be more fair?
CU all in the SPDC as N7GP during my daylight hours and as N5IA during the
core night time 14 hours. I will make the best effort to put every caller
in the logs; even the real strong QRP guys and the QRO stations I can barely
discern through the din, static and fades receive equal treatment.
73, and Merry Christmas to everyone everywhere.
de Milt, N5IA

Herb,
I feel the same way.
I have nothing against QRP, but for me personally I don't have the
desire to
handicap myself with QRP power especially on 160. It doesn't seem fair
to me for the guy
on the other end to be burdened with trying to dig my weak signal out so
I can make another
contact. ( Just my opinion, guys. )
73,
Bob

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.
