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

[Gary D Krause]

This is the truth about QRP vs. QRO, as I see it. ;-)  First of all, as so 
many have already pointed out, it's all good.  But, have you ever wondered why 
the QRP guys seems to be more vocal about QRP than the QRO guys?  I'm a QRP 
guy myself and I can tell you it's because, it's so much fun and for every 
other reason everyone else has mentioned.  Now, why is it that some QRO guys 
feel that they have to defend themselves against the QRP crowd.  I'll tell you 
why...GUILT.  That's right, guilt.  If their spouses were to find out that it 
wasn't necessary to spend mega bucks on rigs, amps, towers and antennas and 
that they could operate on much less...well you get the picture. :-)

Seriously, I think everyone should do what interests them the most.  Our hobby 
has so much to offer.  Just as long as we all keep it in perspective and 
realize that QRP RULES! ;-)
