Herb, I don´t call CQ when I do qrp on 160m during a contest, just call
stations running and concentrate on finding mults and DX for best scoring.
This year I worked 30 VE/W, but assisted which helped a bit and it is
amazing what good ears you have across the pond.
Was easier to get W in the log then northern Africa and Middle East.

Peter, If you think calling CQ in a contest while running 5 watts and
not getting a single reply is fun then have at it. Working some stations
with 100 watts is more fun for me.
