  Ok.  Even I got into K5D's log.

  I did it Bernie's way.

  Got up for a nature break around 0255L.  Then went into radio room to see if they were on.  They were on with a good OP running JAs and other Asians.  The JAs were quite loud at my QTH.  K5D was a good solid S9 (I have a fairly Scotch meter 100 uV = S9 - old school settings).

  So I decided to see if they could hear well.  I dialed my power down to 5W at the feed point of the antenna (18" off the ground - antenna is a square loop of 2" aluminum tubing 12' on a side).  I called once.  They worked a loud JA.  I called the second time.  They called me.  Whole thing took less than 5 minutes from application of power to the rig.

  I should be in their log for 1006Z 23 FEB 2009.  No problem with them copying my call.  Forty was nice and quiet - S0 at my place.

  Does 5W count as actual QRP?

  I checked just now and they haven't uploaded anything past 22 Feb yet.
