Topband: QRP'ers

[Gedking at aol.com]

Why do all these people give a rip if someone gets satisfaction working  
somebody a long distance with low power I have a friend who enjoys working  
QRP But he is on the east coast and I am envious I can't. I takes skill and  
timing getting a QRP signal over the top of those who think they need Multi  
kilowatts to work DX. on 160 mtrs.

PS I used to erk some  phone operators when novices had 50  Kc  on the top 
end of the novice segment of 15 Mtrs when I was a Novice  running abt 15 
wts, my WN8 call seemed to be a passport to get a contact with  DX  using CW 
with stations on phone when they called CQ. I think some  operators to the 
north and east of us gripped to the FCC and got that section  taken away from 
the Novices.
