Hear, hear,

That is the strangest part of it: in most contest (except 
the Stew Perry) all the credit goes to the QRP station, 
while the hard work is done at the other end. Calling with 
1 kW takes the same effort as with 5 watts.

I often work QRP (SM6CPY just this Saturday night) and I 
know that the hard work is done by the receiving station. 
But when conditions are poor, I turn on the PA. It makes 
life easier.

BTW, I was QRP in the 160 m ARRL contest and I was very 
pleasantly surprised by the large percentage of stations 
that were able to copy me. TKS guys!
