Can someone, or the moderator(s) explain to us Europeans that if we add a
personal critical remark its publication is being refused and every time
hams from the USA soil practises this, no one interferes???
By the way, K9YC already made a valid point on the ability of hams with good
ears :)
And there's more to be learned in successful contesting with less than
kilowatts and/or super stations.
Readers prefer that kind of content.
Kind Regards,
Mark PA5MW

Doesn't hurt to be in Wyoming either.
It isn't the number of watts that makes you loud. It's the size of those
watts.
But spare us the weak signal mantra about how anyone running a large station
with good antennas is an inferior being. QRP isn't hard to send --- it's
hard to hear.

I have... and will again...
WAS in one weekend on 160... QRP!
NOT with a 4 sq either... but with ONE short vertical of 40 ft height.
limitations? YES.. not being heard by a whole herd of folks that couldn't
hear nearly as much as they were covering up with their own LOUD TX.
I'm just sayin.. what my own experience has been. And I expect not a whit
of change next time either, except the propagation changes, and THAT, only
One controls.
(much to our dismay, at times)
Have a great day,
