I've sent Bob and Kent a few examples of QRP contests (and ARRL Sweepstakes)
where participants define QRP as 5W CW and 10W SSB.
Since this in an Elecraft list let's see what the Elecraft QSO Party rules
have to say about QRP power levels...
"When using QRP calling frequencies, use QRP power (5W or less for
CW/Digital, 10W PEP or less for SSB)"
When in doubt always ask the sponsor of the contest for a clarification on
what they consider QRP power on SSB (before the contest begins) so you can
operate the maximum power allowed for that mode. If the rules say that 10W
PEP on SSB is QRP...you can bet the house that the guys you are going to
compete against are going to be running 10W on SSB even if they normally
define SSB QRP as 5W.

Hi Kent
I went through this a while back.
QRP for every contest I could find is spec'd at 5w out,
cw or ssb.
Good luck and 73

Subject: [Elecraft] QRP Power Level?
Can someone tell me the "official" definition of QRP Power Level? Is it
5
watts for voice and CW modes? I notice that many contests have a QRP
class
but they do not define QRP power and I cannot find it on ARRL site.
Thanks,
Kent
