[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Trevor, is 100 milliwatts (0.1 watt) QRP enough? 

The NCDSF/IARU beacons have been doing just that for years on 20 through 10
meters with transmission from up to 18 countries on a single time-shared
frequency in each band. 

Each beacon transmits its call followed by four dashes. The first at 100
watts, then 10 watts, 1 watt and 0.1 watt.

Perhaps setting up a WSPR beacon might be of interest.
Have a look at  http://wsprnet.org/drupal/

The Weak Signal Propagation Reporter Network is a group of amateur radio
operators 
using K1JT's MEPT_JT digital mode to probe radio frequency propagation
conditions 
using very low power (QRP/QRPp) transmissions. The software is open source,
and the 
data collected are available to the public through this site
