Interesting. I've always felt the other way about QRP stations - they're more attractive for me to work because of the novelty of their using low power and the probability that their operating skills are better due to the challenges of working QRP. So, when I hear a stations sign /QRP I'm usually more inclined to try to work them than less.
I'd also say the combo of both QRP _and_ a marginal antenna is really where it gets hard to make QSO's. I've heard QRP contest stations that were the loudest sigs on the band. They'll be running only 5 watts, but to a yagi stack at 100' and coming in at 30 over S9 running stations for hours on end..... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Calling-CQ-on-PSK-31-tp5043861p5046374.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
