[Elecraft] OT; what's too short???

[Fred Maas]

But as I understand it, the quote of the HF DX'rs is," Life is too 
short for QRP", 500 Watts.

this shouldn't turn into any drawn out thread, but let's be clear.   I, for one, and I am one of many,  have worked:

* DXCC with 2 watts on 40 mtrs alone, in a few weeks.

* DXCC  10-40 mtrs in one winter,

* WAC QRP (five watts with a K2) ... on 160 mtrs

* 284 countries, QRP in one winter, rarely am unable to make the QSO with QRP.

* Recently calmly worked ZL8X on 160 mtrs running two watts, on the first calling attempt (they had good ears ;-)

Not "showing off," the fact is, QRO DX'ing is so (very) EZ that there is simply no challenge to it !!!
