[Elecraft] QRP Power Level?

[Don Wilhelm]

Kent,

There is no 'official' concensus that I am aware of.

Each contest should specify what they consider QRP power levels in their
contest rules.
CW is almost always 5 watts, but SSB is sometimes either 5 watts or 10
watts - the ARRL seems to consider 5 watts as QRP for both SSB and CW.

Check the rules for each contest (or certificate) to be certain.
