But QRP simply does NOT rule everywhere... ...for DXing on the low bands (80/160), ...for EME or meteor scatter on VHF, ...when propagation is marginal or atmospheric QRN is high, ...in emergency communications when a life depends on it. Sure QRP works well on the HF bands when conditions are good...it's a heck of a lot of fun to work across the world with a 2 Watt rig in an Altoids tin and a piece of wire...but please don't make blanket statements about "QRP ruling" for many activities...it simply doesn't. If QRPers want a REAL challenge, try working DXCC on 160m with 5 Watts. 73, Bill W4ZV (who loves both) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Your-Opinion%3A-The-realities-of-QRP-vs.-QRO-tp2429074p2437055.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
