Oh, let's get a noisy generator and go out into a Nation Park and be obnoxious running 100 watts so you won't be tied (sic) of working QRP stations. You work more of them than you know. Within the confines of the 3830 contest score posting site I would be #21 in HP non assisted and #11 in LP non assisted. but I worked the CQ WW contest qrp, so I am in another category. Have a bit of patience, and don't swathe all weak signal stations as qrp. I believe that most of us do the best we can. Perhaps you need a better receiver.

Yes, I am tied of working QRP stations. Happiness is a an activator station 
with 100 watts and decent antenna. Many of the activators use QRP and most of 
the time they are not heard.  They get on, work the 10 contacts that can hear 
them and move on. I have missed a number of new ones because I could not hear 
them.  It has been a challenge but I have relearned to listen better.

I don?t understand why anyone would try to work a RTTY contest QRP.
