[PaQSO] QRP lament from the Midwest

[DougHDH@aol.com]

Hi All,

Several of you are trying to decide if QRP is right for you.  As a 
representative of hams west of the Wabash River, please keep in mind that QRP 
on 40 meters just doesn't cut the mustard into the Midwest and west, 
particularly during the day.  We have a hard enough time trying to draw folks 
up to 20 meters.

Same is true of mobiles QRP unless they are on 20 meters.  If they are SSB 
mobile  on 40, we almost never hear them - if they are QRP, we DON'T hear 
them.

Give us a break - but have fun whatever you decide and we will do likewise!!

73,  Doug W3HDH/9
