The term QRO is a general term to mean high power. "QRO?" means "Should
I increase power?"
To QRP operators, 100 Watts is QRO. To most 100 Watt operators, QRO
means using an amp (ie not barefoot).
To the California Kilowatts on 80 meters who live 80 miles away from each
other and always run the legal limit, QRO means breaking the law.
The term has no real strict meaning, which IMHO is as it should be.
