Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 power setting for SSB QRP?
Most QRP contests have a QRP limit of 5 watts for both CW and SSB. I know
the ARRL does that. ARCI, and I think GQRP, had QRP on SSB limited to 10
watts, I think in an attempt to account for the disparity between the two
modes
QRP-ARCI defines QRP as:
QRP operation for QRP-ARCI purposes is defined as operation with a
transmitter power output of 5 watts or less (CW)(A1) and 10 watts PEP or
less (SSB)(A3J). QRP-ARCI awards are based on these output levels.
.
I believe most other QRP organizations agree with this, although there are
some groups / contests that specify that SSB QRP is 5 watts (or less) output
on all modes. As far as I know, no one uses the well discussed (and
sometimes over discussed!) use of ERP in QRP power levels.
