Hello Ron, Here's my two cents. I have been using a K2 at 10 watts. I know that's just a bit above QRP technically but I have had some great results. I'm using a long wire antenna so far and getting ready to hang the new G5RV when I get home, but depending on conditions I have been able to reach eastern Europe from my central east coast QTH. Although it was really at the extreme edge of my limited capabilities I was able to exchange enough information, callsign, QTH, weather and such to log a QSO. I also reach Texas and Florida easily and even the Virgin Islands. Although I spend a lot of time listening because the guys with higher power and better antennas run over my weaker signal I would say try it you just might be surprised at your results.
