Hello Ron,

Here's my two cents. I have been using a K2 at 10 watts. I know that's just
a bit above QRP technically but I have had some great results. I'm using a
long wire antenna so far and getting ready to hang the new G5RV when I get
home, but depending on conditions I have been able to reach eastern Europe
from my central east coast QTH. Although it was really at the extreme edge
of my limited capabilities I was able to exchange enough information,
callsign, QTH, weather and such to log a QSO. I also reach Texas and Florida
easily and even the Virgin Islands.  Although I spend a lot of time
listening because the guys with higher power and better antennas run over my
weaker signal I would say try it you just might be surprised at your
results.
