This is not a rate killer. Either you can hear the guy well enough to get minimal print, or you can't. If he's in there but not strong enough, then just keep running. If he's not strong enough to print cleanly he's not going to prevent you from working the next guy who is a few db stronger and chances are the next guy will be stronger than that by tens of db.

I agree with you 100%, Bill. My theory is "Life is too short for QRP." I have my flameproof suit on. :)

3. Because of the higher possibility of repeat requests, does anyone
think that qrp is out of place in some or all RTTY contests.

REPLY:

Maybe I'm just an old grump, but I think QRP is annoying anywhere in
ham radio, not just contests. The QRPers are proud of their lousy
signals whereas the REAL work is done by the stations trying to copy
them.

Flame deflector on, fire away. :-)
