Well,  I think doing QRP is nuts on 160M,  but I tired it during the RAC
Winter Contest and made 26 QSOs in about 1.5 hours, and I have to admit it
was kinda fun, and I was just pokin' along.....

So, me thinks I'll try QRP during the Stew Perry and see how it goes.....
Now if I could just locate the source of my nasty 160M noise.....
