I nade two serioud attempts at QRP operating. In 1978 I ran the CQ WW SSB
and did add/qrp and found that this caused far too much problem. In 1984 I
won the USA Plaque for QRP in the ARRL SSB. My score would have placed 4th
in low power. I learned that using the voice keyer that just sending my
call without /QRP was the way to go. With a good antenna and the right
propagation QSOs were easy to make at times and impossible at other times.
I found that if a station did not answer after 4 or 5 calls go on to another
station or even change bands. I even had a couple of runs of South
Americans
and one short Eu runI expect that with computer logging that the /QRP causes all sorts of problems. I remember logging mobiles as /m but this showed up as England. My hat is off to the dedicated QRP Contesters. For me 100 watts is my QRP..Dave K4JRB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest |
