I'm sure that's true in some cases, but QRP'ers take heart! There
are some, myself included, who enjoy the challenge of trying to dig
a very weak signal from the noise. I suppose that is why I

Carl,
QRP may be fun for the QRP station but it's often a PITA for the station on the
other end.

Hi Guys,
QRP on 160-meters is fun, alright---and there's at least one QRP contest every
year that's dedicated just to the band (you've missed it by a matter of about
1-1/2 weeks!).
One bit of advice, though: save yourself a LOT of potential grief, & limit
operations between 1800- & 1810-KHz, i
...
h slide the crystal radios up to 160. I could only hope for a Q
with someone in the neighborhood.

What is the QRP frequency on 160? Sounds fun. Would like to give it a try
with my newly finished K3.

By no means any shadow of a record but I just had a CW QSO on TB with
N3LCW/QRP in Md & me in CT; about 300 miles apart. The band was
absent of signals till down at the bottom, there he was calling CQ as
a QRP so I switched the amp off, turned the K3 down to 5W and got A
599. a bit later I drop
25 matches
