I would not give-up totally on SSB at QRP power levels. I received a QSL card on Saturday for a QRP contact with RI44ANT in the South Shetlands.
3 watts SSB from Pennsylvania to Antarctica for a 5X7 using my KX3 -- not bad if you ask me. I have made many QRP contacts on SSB to Europe, Australia and the US with as little as 500 milliWatts.

For the first 2 years with my KX3, I ran it ONLY QRP with LiFePo external batteries or external power supply. I learned to be persistent.
