Carl,

QRP may be fun for the QRP station but it's often a PITA for the station on the other end.   

I'm not saying that most of us need a KW on CW, I sold my SB220 in 1974. But I hate trying to dig some station out of the mud to get 50% copy just so that he can get his jollies with miles per milliwatt.  

Yes, I've operated a little QRP and decided it wasn't fair to the stations on the other end.

Obviously, YMMV.
