Years ago, I ran 5W in pursuit of QRP WAS in 160 CW contests from my QTH near San Francisco, and was down to needing three states -- WV, SC, and VT. About 8 years ago, the explosion of RX noise caugh

The last few years I have worked at least one of the 160 contests at 5w CW to a 260 doublet up 60 in the trees. Ive made Qs but dont think Ive ever cracked the top 20 in any of them. Tons of fun tho!

QRP on 160 is possible but you need a very good antenna, especially for DX. (It is still painful, though.) On the TX3A Chesterfield DXpedition I worked a W7 on TB, good signal, no bid deal. About an

Yes, QRP is excellent at teaching us about propagation! I don't. Far too many hams concentrate on being loud and pay little attention to hearing well. I consider ham radio to be about more than opera

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

For many years after I was licensed in 1960, we were limited in G-land to 10 watts input to the PA (not output). So working DX was a major achievement, although there were quite a few 'fat watts' aro
