I enjoy contesting with my K2 at 5w.  I don't let on that I am QRP, unless
the exchange has something like a Q required in the exchange.
I prefer to go head on and give no quarter, take no prisoners :-)

When I'm just operating for ragchew purposes, I like to hold off telling
the other station I'm QRP until after he has given me a signal report.
I'll also stall it off as long as possible after that, because often
they will have a sudden phone call, or the xyl needs help, or QSB suddenly
afflicts the band terribly :-)

If they have stuck with me that long, they are more likely to want to talk
about QRPing than up and leave.

Have fun QRPing, everyone.  Happy New Year.
