[Elecraft] KPA 500 Power Amp.

[David Gilbert]

You miss the point.  It is of course possible to bust a pileup with good 
timing and the proper choice of calling frequency ... and possibly 
better propagation than the QRO guys have ... but the odds are that the 
guy you're calling has a much better station than you do and is still 
the one doing the heavy lifting.

Don't give yourself more credit than you deserve.
