Good propagation most certainly is a big factor in QRP DX work, John,
but I feel you may have missed my point.
Assuming poor propagation, if I make a QRP contact 600 miles away with a
decent antenna, and my buddy across town with the same power and a dinky
wire hanging out the window does nearly as well or the same, I like sharing
his joy at success under such trying circumstances.
Working DX under all sorts of varying conditions is another talent I
greatly admire, and I think the combination of these varied pursuits amongst
we hams adds wonderful flavor to the hobby. I laud your skills as well,
John, in snagging those elusive hard ones.
Cheers, Dale -K6PJV

Not to burst anyone's bubble but please keep in mind that Propagation the
past two days have been above normal. In fact they were excellent. This is
very much a Big factor.
And when the propagation returns to normal the next few days the amp will
go on to overcome
the absorption losses.
