[RTTY] Q Rate Killers

[Al Hanzl]

Well, my logic may be screwed up, but everything is relative. 
I run 100 watts with compromised antennas due to fact I live on a typical small suburban lot with one large tree smack in middle of a small backyard. 
I am sometimes asked for repeats. 

There may be QRPers with more ERP than I put out. 

And I do get annoyed when stations with booming signals can't hear me at all. 

As much as I sometimes get discouraged that the same super stations keeping winning, it's not their problem that I can't compete. 
I sometimes run QRP just so I have a chance to win a low participation sub category. 
Anyway, some rambling thoughts from an amateur contester.
