I received a note via US mail accusing me of running more power than I claimed during the 2006 CQP contest. I am asking the contesting community for some advice on this matter. I could ignore it as s

The answer would depend on from whom you received the note. If it were from the accuser then I would agree with the last poster which is to ignore it. At least from a Contester's point of view. If th
Who was the complaint from and how could they prove such an accusation? If the letter was not signed toss it in the trash and get on with the contest season. If you did nothing wrong then do nothing.

I once tuned across a western Pacific DX-pedition just as he said -- now listening for QRP. QRP only! So I turned down the rig to 5 watts and gave him a call. He was very upset because I was obviousl
The ocean does marvelous things for signals. I'm oceanfront here on the southern tip of my island and have ocean and bay takeoffs in all directions except NNW. I can run LP or QRP on 40M with the bea
I think it was N6NB who had an article in a magazine who found that using a big antenna with 100 watts beat or equalled a lower antenna and a KW. I recall N6TR visiting Pat, W5WMU's super station and
Amen to the QRP on 160. I have done it twice, once from Calif and once from here. I never had a run either place. It was S&P all the time. It took 4 hrs on/off to snag ZF1A and 1 1/2 to snag JT1CO. B
