Ron,

Here are some stats from our local club, EAARS, operating QRP, solar 
powered, Field Day in the mountains of southeastern AZ.  As you can see, QRP 
works VERY well if you are in a good location with good antennas.  Good 
operators using good equipment also adds to the possibility of success. 
YMMV.
