[CQ-Contest] QRP cheating

[Dale Putnam]

 let's face it "4.7 watts to any good 
antenna has considerable limitations on 160 meters. Just try it sometime.

I have... and will again... 
WAS in one weekend on 160... QRP! 
NOT with a 4 sq either... but with ONE short vertical of 40 ft height.

limitations? YES.. not being heard by a whole herd of folks that couldn't 
hear nearly as much as they were covering up with their own LOUD TX. 

I'm just sayin.. what my own experience has been. And I expect not a whit 
of change next time either, except the propagation changes, and THAT, only 
One controls.

(much to our dismay, at times)
Have a great day,
