ooo 100mW output allowing the choice of PA

running barefoot QRP for _REAL_ Radio Hams.
IMHO... QRP, for the new-to-HF ham whose Morse (and/or voice
procedures) isn't all that solid yet... and who's probably using a
comprimise antenna... is really not a good idea.
Save it for when one's got some experience under the belt & is
interested in trying something new.
