Oh, let's get a noisy generator and go out into a Nation Park and be 
obnoxious running 100 watts so you won't be tied (sic) of working QRP 
stations.  You work more of them than you know. Within the confines of 
the 3830 contest score posting site I would be #21 in HP non assisted 
and #11 in LP non assisted. but I worked the CQ WW contest qrp, so I am 
in another category.  Have a bit of patience, and don't swathe all weak 
signal stations as qrp.  I believe that most of us do the best we can.  
Perhaps you need a better receiver.

73 (seriously)

Happiness is a an activator station with 100 watts and decent antenna. Many of the activators use QRP and most of the time they are not heard.  They get on, work the 10 contacts that can hear them and move on. I have missed a number of new ones because I could not hear them.  It has been a challenge but I have relearned to listen better.
