Hear, hear,
That is the strangest part of it: in most contest (except
the Stew Perry) all the credit goes to the QRP station,
while the hard work is done at the other end. Calling with
1 kW takes the same effort as with 5 watts.
I often work QRP (SM6CPY just this Saturday night) and I
know that the hard work is done by the receiving station.
But when conditions are poor, I turn on the PA. It makes
life easier.
BTW, I was QRP in the 160 m ARRL contest and I was very
pleasantly surprised by the large percentage of stations
that were able to copy me. TKS guys!
