[Elecraft] Your Opinion: The realities of QRP vs. QRO

[Ralph Tyrrell]

I have a K1, it was my only HF rig from 2003 to 2008 when My K3/100 #696 arrived. I still use the K1 from time to time.

My goal it WAS CW QRP, 40 QSL cards received so far.

I am now also getting into CW traffic nets on 80, have often done it with 5 watts. Sometimes when conditions are a bit difficult I run 80 Watts. Sometimes even that is not enough.

Both power levers for me are fun. But the QRP contact seems to have somewhat more thrill.

Wish I could change from 5 Watts to 80 Watts by pressing PF2.
