Absolutely. Not sure who said it - "Life's too short for QRP". It's one
thing if you're playing with something like a GRC-109 or the BC-9 like Dave
has been working on. An occasional challenge like that is fun, as much fun
to get it to work as to operate it, I'd bet. Otherwise I want to enjoy some
decent ragchew time without a constant struggle. Finding time to get on the
air (or even get the station back together after the move) is more than
enough challenge and struggle for me.

Different stokes, as they say....
