Indeed. This thread is always entertaining to those (including myself) who have completed DXCC with less than 5 watts and a random wire. Not that I'm biased. It was a struggle, and there's definitely a time and place for more power. But occasionally I like to drop down to nearly nothing to remind myself that, when the bands are really open, you *can* do it with a lot less. Eric doesn't talk about his own QRP accomplishments much, but he worked over 100 countries on a NorCal 40 (one of my first designs) running just a few watts. In fact that's how we first met; I think he called me to (a) thank me for the design and (b) boast just a little to someone who would appreciate it :) Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
