Not that I agree or dissagree with QRP/QRO, but let me tell you it is nice to actually hear a station well, without the struggle of turning up the volume, falling out of a tree installing the antenna higher, paying more for coax, because now your antenna is farther away, and or buying a better radio (which seems subjective to who believes is better?)  QRP is exciting to the QRP'er because he doesn't really have to listen to a weak signal.  And QRO, well I guess I am jealous, can't really afford it, with electricity bills getting higher and higher, and again, the need for better coax to handle all the power properly.  

I run a hundred watts and a five element beam at 20 feet.  It works for me just fine when the band is open...

How about both?

Use QRO to make the contact then move down
to QRP to discover how good an operator you
are and how good your rig & antenna combo is?

Anyone can power their way to a contact,
consider the huge power being run by some of
our fellow Hams south of the border, but the
best operators respect the FCC requirement
that we use "the least power necessary".

And yes, that FCC requirement was in the test
we all had to pass prior to receiving a Ham
license.  :-)
