I agree completely, Dave. What concerns me is that a lot of QRP operators
think that QRO operators have something to answer for when, in fact, a
successful QRP/QRO contact is frequently due to the receiving skills of the
QRO operator.

I really enjoy working QRP and QRPp because I get to test (and show off) my
receiving skills. And if I'm chewing the rag with a QRO station who is
thumping in QSA 5 and reports that my signal is a little weak, I like to be
able to QRO a bit myself so he can sit back and copy me like I am copying
him.
