Last year during field day, I made 186 PSK contacts and 1 RTTY contact running QRP. I tried for many more RTTY contacts, but in all but one case, the other station could not hear me. The one exception was on 10 meters with a station across San Francisco bay from our operation and probably line of sight. He had difficulty coping my exchange. Since the PSK contacts included stations in New England and Quebec, so I was getting out.

Has anyone had success in QRP RTTY operation? Should I consider RTTY a mode only suitable for higher power?
