Having been on both sides if this, I think a calling station too weak to 
copy is doing the running station a favor by giving up when the running 
station is busy.

An important thing you learn when you're QRP is that you make QSOs over 
the most difficult paths occur at propagation peaks, and you learn when 
those peaks occur. :) I'm currently working on QRP WAS on 160M from my 
QTH near San Francisco. Nearly all of my QSOs to the east coast have 
occurred within an hour of sunrise on the other end. I'm still looking 
for CT, VT, KY, SC, WV, and MS.
