[Elecraft] who does the work in QRP?

[Jack Regan]

Great thread!
   
  Before I make my point I would like to point out that I work almost always qrp using my KX1.
   
  One of my Christmas presents this year was a NOSS CW Tuning Indicator (SMD).  I built and installed it today and it works fine!
   
  FWIW. I occasionaly tune into a 17 meter SSB WAS net using 100 watts into a rotatable trapped dipole. Before I got my linear I could hardly make any contacts, most of the stations checking in were on the east coast!  After I got my linear I not only could make contact with ANYONE who checked in but was asked to act as a relay station for stations having trouble!  Power helps! More power helps more!
   
  I still use only qrp for rc and day to day radio fun but when I spot DX I need I crank up the linear (after checking propagation) and give it a shot.
