If you really want to enjoy QRP, NEVER call CQ. I always answered CQ's,
jumped in at the end of QSO, or when calling DX, saying QRP instead of my
call sign. Everyone wants to work a QRPp station.
BTW the way, all the credit for the contact should go to the "receiving"
station where the operator is willing to take the extra care to make it a
good one.

Now I have built a couple of QRP rigs and they are fun, but you may become
frustrated in bad band condx's and you have to send many CQ's to get a
contact
I would get practice with more power before you go to QRP........
