Guys: Perhaps I will try and convince all the VE5 contesters (and maybe VY1) to go QRP in the SS phone. Perhaps that will wake up a few ANTI-QRPers. Actually I am never really sure what QRP means. I suspect that 5w and a pair of 5 element stacked monobanders has a ERP comparable to 100w and 2 element quad - YES/NO? In search of the EQUALIZED CONTEST VE5ZX Sylvan
