Appears so! I need to find my QRP watt meter and check it.

Ah! So "zero power" on a K3 is not actually zero?! Good to know!

I accidentally made a QRP Q on 160 ... I had just moved and set up my station
and wanted to test a feature off the air but couldn't find a dummy load.
Sooooo, I cranked the power of the K3 to zero, dropped my call, NO3M came back
with a report. That dude has some ears!

For the younger crowd, 25 watts was the max power allowed in several 160m
segments (especially the opposite coast) back in the 60's and 70's. 100w
was the max anywhere in the U.S.
When I first got on 160 in 1964, working two states away was
often considered DX for me!
Yes, there were exceptional stations, but they were rare.
