I got a note from someone who worked a 500 mile contact with another QRP

gives me hope that I'll get my first contact soon.

There's a Real Cult of QRPp'ers - extra, extra low power ops - that try
to achieve ever higher and higher "Millions of Miles per Watt" numbers.
(Of course, BPL will kill them if it rolls out.)
Just imagine _accurately_ measuring power out at the microWatt levels!

This ol' hobby has a lot of interesting nooks and crannies.

gl with your project.
