NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!!!  That totally goes against the spirit of QRP operating, 
in my opinion. ;-)

I work mostly CW QRP but, I do work SSB QRP once in a while and it's a blast. 
 I generally start with the QRP calling frequencies.  As far as antennas, I 
use a home brewed vertical and home brewed magnetic loop antennas.  I don't 
have supports like towers, poles or trees in my yard.  My K3 is a 10w version 
and my K2 has the 100 watt amp but, it sits on the shelf now.  I rarely ever 
used it.  What was I thinking?  I guess I just wanted something else to build. 
:)
