[PVRCNC] [PVRC] 2013 SS

[James Jordan]

I don't have an amp. Had one for several years and never used it. Didn't know I was the only one rock crusher deprived. Maybe there's a rumor out there you can't make a lot of QSO's at a fast rate without one and people don't try. 
Agree about QRP SSB. Cruel and unusual punishment against the rx ops which doesn't outweigh the rush for the tx op when he completes the QSO. Or maybe I'm perpetrating a similar rumor!
