Indeed, I've had some success in running while QRP in SS. (I've tried
it in ARRL DX but with very little success. Not because of any problems
with the big guns, it just didn't seem to generate enough replies to be
worth persisting with. I probably *should* just CQ on the second radio
anyway, while S&Ping on the main rig, just for the dozen or two QSOs it
could generate during the contest period...)
