Well, I am surprised. It seems that the (at least vocal) majority of
the RTTY contesting community has little respect for qrp in a contest,
or perhaps it's just for any weak signal.
Any contest is a challenge... contesting... contest. Maybe the
nay-sayers need better antennas or rigs or ears or software or
fill-in-with-your-brain capabilities. I am very surprised at the NPOTA
complainers. The difference between operating portable at 5 watts and
at 100 is night-and-day logistically.
Perhaps the best thing for you folks to do is to crank it down to 5
watts and see what you can work. I promise you that you will be
surprised. And with few requests for repeats.
73, Dave, K2YG
