that always makes ya feel good huh? or less! one ham I used to talk to often was always 579 with 100 milliwatts .we were about 800 miles apart .. that was pretty cool and just a dipole at 15 feet... bill that 2 watt qrp story was funny!.. if I ever get an Argonaut or ft815 I think me thinks 15 or 10 qrp will be the attempt on ssb.. what little I use.
