   I, too, know from firsthand experience that it's very satisfying   
   when you get QSOs with minimal power. When I was doing HF it wasn't   
   exactly QRP but might as well have been. :-)   
      
   One day I visited some ham friends in the Santa Cruz Mountains,   
   not far from Ben Lomond where you have a QSL card from. Their   
   station was so powerful that they got annoyed when they couldn't   
   break a pileup on the first call. Running a low-power station   
   teaches you patience. :-)
