[RTTY] Rate killer/QRP

[Jeff AC0C]

This is not a rate killer.  Either you can hear the guy well enough to get 
minimal print, or you can't.  If he's in there but not strong enough, then 
just keep running.  If he's not strong enough to print cleanly he's not 
going to prevent you from working the next guy who is a few db stronger and 
chances are the next guy will be stronger than that by tens of db.

I agree with you 100%, Bill.  My theory is "Life is too short for QRP."  I 
have my flameproof suit on.  :)
