[Elecraft] WoW QRP

The other night I went out to my truck and turned on my radio. 
I was listening to a conversation when I heard the operator say that he was
located about 200 miles from me and was running qrp at 100 milliwatts. I
could not believe that I could hear him as well as I could. Apparently he
runs qrp all the time as this was his second conversation with one of the
operators in the three way conversation. 

Made me stop and think what a thrill it would be to operate QRP all the
time. 
I thought that most QRP operators were using CW, but this guy was using
voice on 40 meters. 

There are so many different interest in amateur radio that no one could be
bored of trying all the new things. 

Just wanted to share the story and let the reflector know that I have
changed my mind and am looking forward to QRP as well as RTTY and DX. 

Thanks
