Getting no reply calling CQ using QRP is fairly common
but tail ending, search and pounce, and careful timinggreatly increase the
chances for success.

I thought I would try and see what 5 watts
could actually in fact really do on TB. Using a 1/4 wave vertical and 12
Beverages a few weeks later, and many days after that when the band
conditions where hot, I called CQ for 4 hours each night without a
single reply.
