Hmmm...I usually run 80-90 watts into a 380 foot loop and get pretty good reports. Seems to me....maybe it's the cynicism born of old age....when I work a QRP station (at least 3 or 4 times a week) its me doing all the work, twiddling knobs trying to fight the QSB and QRN and pull that faint little 3-5 watt signal in while the QRP station gets armchair copy from me! I'm always suspicious of any claim that something is "too easy"!! Too easy for who, is the question.
