Yeah, QRP often has the best chance when the bands are "dead". Once the 
big guns get the idea that a band is open QRP can get quite difficult. I 
was out on a SOTA summit yesterday with my KX3 trying to get another 12 
metres challenge multiplier, and I could hear quite a bit of activity on 
the band, but wasn't able to make myself heard either when I called CQ 
or when I answered others' calls.
