Topband: Nice QRPP QSO

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Guys,

QRP on 160-meters is fun, alright---and there's at least one QRP contest every year that's dedicated just to the band (you've missed it by a matter of about 1-1/2 weeks!).

One bit of advice, though: save yourself a LOT of potential grief, & limit operations between 1800- & 1810-KHz, i.e. the extreme bottom 10-KHz of the band. Apart from the W1AW code practice sessions there, that part of the band is usually unoccupied. If you call CQ QRP anywhere from about 1812- to 1835-KHz, you could well incur the wrath of the DX crowd hunting their quarry therein...! Be forewarned...
