I am eagerly awaiting the availability of the new 539 QRP rig.  If it 
pans out, and I think it will, my Corsair II station will be on the 
block.  I have had a great time with QRP, and have worked a surprising 
amount of DX, especially on 6 meters with only a few watts.  Right now, 
my best Argonaut II is in use with my Elecraft transverter and Mirage 
brick.  I made a bunch of CW and SSB contacts with it last night during 
the opening.  I was impressed with the Eagle, but plan to run most of my 
retirement station off of solar charged storage batteries, so I really 
won't need the extra power.  This new amp would allow the use of a QRP 
rig to drive either an antenna, or a larger amp.  Years ago I worked a 
guy on 15 CW who was using one of the original Argonauts with a homebrew 
4X150 amplifier.

73,
